The Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste vineyard stretches across Garonne gravel, a soil renowned for its ability to drain water while retaining heat. These favorable conditions allow the grape varieties to flourish, yielding grapes rich in aromas. The estate cultivates its vines with care, combining traditional practices with respect for the environment. Planting density and the choice of grape varieties are carefully considered to optimize grape quality, thus guaranteeing the authenticity and complexity of the wines produced.

Owner and history

Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste is currently managed by the Borie family, who have successfully preserved the family legacy while bringing a modern touch to the estate's management. Their commitment to quality and sustainability is reflected in every bottle produced. With an unwavering passion for wine and a deep understanding of the terroir, they continue to elevate Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste to the ranks of Bordeaux's finest wines.

Vinification and aging

Winemaking at Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste is a meticulous process, blending tradition and modern technology. The grapes are harvested by hand, allowing for rigorous selection. After careful destemming, alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, promoting gentle tannin extraction. Aging in oak barrels, some of which are new, lasts approximately 15 to 18 months, adding complexity and richness to the wine. This meticulous attention to detail at each stage ensures a faithful expression of the terroir and the recognition of the unique character of each vintage.
