Producer

Producer

The Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste vineyard stretches across gravelly and sandy-gravelly soils, typical of Pauillac, which promote optimal drainage and excellent sun exposure. The vines, most of which are over 30 years old, benefit from an ideal microclimate, with maritime influences moderating temperature extremes. The estate practices sustainable viticulture, respecting the ecosystem to preserve biodiversity and ensure the long-term health of its vines. Each plot is carefully cultivated to reveal the full potential of each grape variety, thus contributing to the unique character of the wines produced.

Owner and history

Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste is currently managed by the Borie family, whose history with the estate spans several generations. This family expertise is passed down with passion and commitment, allowing them to perpetuate winemaking traditions while incorporating innovation. The owners are deeply attached to their terroir and the quality of their wines, striving each year to produce vintages that reflect the authenticity and excellence of Pauillac. Their vision is to make Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste an ambassador for the great wines of Bordeaux, combining respect for the environment with a quest for perfection.

Vinification and aging

Winemaking at Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste is carried out with meticulous care. After a manual harvest, the grapes are sorted and destemmed. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, allowing for precise temperature management to preserve the aromas. Aging occurs in oak barrels, approximately 50% of which are new, for 16 to 18 months. This aging process imparts structure, complexity, and aging potential to the wine. Every step, from harvest to bottling, is designed to respect the pure expression of the terroir and the estate's style.
