The Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste stands guard at the entrance to the prestigious Pauillac appellation. Its name refers to its privileged location on the heights of the appellation, atop a Puy, the Lacoste family being its owners in 1855 when it attained the title of Fifth Grand Cru Classé in the famous classification of Médoc wines for the Paris Universal Exhibition.
In 1978, Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste became part of the Borie family. Thanks to numerous technical renovations, the wines today reflect the full potential of the terroir from which they come.
The vineyard of Domaine is located on deep gravelly hilltops, and covers 62 hectares of vines, planted with 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc. The wines are aged for 16 to 18 months in French oak barrels, 75% of which are new.
Lacoste-Borie is the estate's Second wine, produced with young vines and the same care as its elder brother.
The Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste produces wines in the image of Pauillac, they are powerful but controlled, with elegant tannins and offer beautiful aromatic depth.
With its lovely vermilion color and tiled highlights, the wine presents itself to us with an initial nose dominated by notes of undergrowth. Humus, hearth and graphite aromas blend delicately. After aeration, fruity notes appear. On the palate, the balance is superb. Good density, thanks to well-presented tannins and a full body. The fruity aromas unfold with great amplitude, bringing greediness. The long, persistent finish leaves a beautiful imprint on the palate.
