The Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste vineyard stretches across clay-gravel soils, characteristic of the Pauillac region. These mineral-rich soils are particularly well-suited to the cultivation of the noble grape varieties that make up the estate's wines. The temperate oceanic climate, with its Atlantic influences, allows for optimal grape ripening, thus enhancing the expression of aromas and the complexity of the wines. Careful vineyard management, with rigorous pruning and controlled yields, contributes to the exceptional quality of the harvested grapes.

Owner and history

Today, Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste is managed by the Borie family, who acquired the estate in 1978. Passionate about viticulture and the art of winemaking, they have breathed new life into the estate while respecting its family heritage. Their approach is based on a sustainable and environmentally conscious vision, ensuring the vineyard's future. Thanks to their expertise and commitment, the château's wines continue to be praised by enthusiasts and experts worldwide, thus confirming the estate's reputation for excellence.

Vinification and aging

Winemaking at Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste is a meticulous process that respects tradition while incorporating modern techniques. The carefully selected grapes are vinified separately according to their varietal and terroir. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, ensuring optimal temperature regulation. Aging occurs in oak barrels, a percentage of which are new each year, to impart complexity and elegance to the wine. This extended aging process, lasting approximately 18 months, allows the wine to refine and develop its aromatic potential.
