“Tenderness shines through in this sparkling wine. A beautiful second wine that perfectly balances drinkability and substance! ~ Le Figaro”
“A deep, vibrant nose, aromatic and fragrant, with floral notes and subtle hints of licorice, earth, blackcurrant, black cherry, and raspberry, accented by herbal notes. Juicy, it is immediately lively and tangy. Remarkably pure and precise, its supple yet refined tannins take center stage, lending a delicate yet highly appealing structure. With beautiful precision and great generosity, it is elegant and lively, with good fruity persistence, enticing acidity, and liveliness. Intense yet pure, complex yet almost light, with underlying notes of wet stone and graphite adding mineral and subtly spicy touches. Well-made and easy to drink.” (Decanter 2023)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2021 guide): 4* Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)
About the estate:
The estate boasts one of the best-located and most consistent terroirs in Pauillac, with significant potential from its old Cabernet Sauvignon vines, which give the wine its remarkable body and very noble spicy aromas. François-Xavier Borie manages it with wisdom, skill, and an evident commitment to Médoc classicism. The second wine, Lacoste-Borie, has clearly improved since 2014, but it will be produced in smaller quantities in the future as it will no longer include the young vines from Château Haut-Batailley.

Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
Rated wine (2023 guide) 90–92/100 (Excellent wine)
Estate rated "Recommended" (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About the wine:
A blend of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, and 9% Cabernet Franc, the 2022 Lacoste-Borie is one of the best wines from this producer that I have had the opportunity to taste. It offers aromas of blackcurrant, charcoal, and violet. Medium-bodied to full-bodied, it is full-flavored and lively, with excellent depth and a lovely finish.

Rated estate (2021 guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)
About the estate:
This estate has had only two owners in 75 years: Raymond Dupin, from 1932 to 1978, followed by the Borie family, represented today by François-Xavier and his daughter Emeline. They manage this Fifth Growth estate, which features a homogeneous vineyard on the gravelly-clay plateau of Grand-Puy, with a significant proportion of old vines. Consistency has been flawless for a good decade now, and some older vintages still surprise. “GPL,” as they say in Bordeaux, produces a classic Pauillac—full-bodied and lively, with richly spiced tannins and a rather straightforward style. In great vintages, it acquires a magnificent smoothness that improves with age.

Le Figaro vins
Wine rated (2023 guide) 92/100
About the wine:
Like a deep well that gradually reveals its mysteries—notes of bark, cinnamon stick, ripe blackcurrants and blueberries, and powdery iris. On the palate, tenderness takes center stage in a sparkling texture with delicate spicy notes. A beautiful second wine that perfectly balances drinkability and substance with a rich, indulgent finish of fresh coffee. 2027–2037
Yves Beck
Wine rated (2024 guide) 93/100
About the wine:
The Lacoste-Borie wine displays notes of graphite and black berries in its bouquet, along with great finesse. On the palate, the wine impresses with its freshness and character. It is precise and linear, supported by firm, robust, and well-structured tannins. A savory and refreshing wine. 2027–2042
