Lacaze Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon 2015
About the wine
This big complex beast of a red is giving Bordeaux a run for its money
- You rescued Jean-Pascal's business - and what better way can he thank you by picking the finest grapes, and blending them into this bold and beautiful top-shelf Cabernet.
- Powerful, lavish and oaky, the first thing to sock you in the gums is an explosion of rich blackcurrants and berries with a satisfyingly smooth silky finish – if only they made Bordeaux this good. Ooooh.
- It's been sitting in obscenely expensive barrels in JP's cellar long enough. Now it's begging to be drunk. JP recommends decanting it for 2 hours before drinking (add a Schott Zwiesel Decanter to your order if you want your dinner table to look ultra fancy!)

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Jean Pascal Lacaze
-
Born and trained in Bordeaux, Jean-Pascal now makes wines in Chile, where he’s become a winemaking legend. Every delicious drop he touches ends up dripping medals and critical acclaim.
-
Back in 2008 when his main client went bust, Angels stepped in to save his bacon, and his vintage. Ever since, he’s been making award-winning wines specially for UK Angels.
-
How good is his kit? Well, in his spare time he also makes one of Chile’s most famous wines – the iconic Domus Aurea Cabernet Sauvignon. It sells for £40 and scores 90+ Parker Points every vintage. That good.
