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.
Lacoste Borie 2017 is the Second wine of the prestigious Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste, produced from vines aged an average of 38 years, located on deep gravel hilltops at Pauillac. This vintage's blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot and 9% Cabernet Franc reflects the elegance and structure typical of the appellation's wines.
Hand-harvested between September 15 and 29, 2017, the grapes were carefully sorted twice before and after destemming. Vinification included a long cuvaison of around three weeks, followed by ageing in French oak barrels (45% new wood) for 14 to 16 months, giving the wine beautiful complexity and excellent ageing potential.
Owned by François-Xavier Borie, Domaine, which covers 58 hectares in a single block, is managed with a "lutte raisonnée" approach and exclusively mechanical tillage. Under the technical direction of Mrs Christel Spinner and with the advice of oenologist Éric Boissenot, this Pauillac bears witness to Grand-Puy-Lacoste's know-how and excellence.
