Château Grand-Puy Lacoste

Château Grand Puy Lacoste is a renowned estate in the Pauillac appellation, classified as a 5th Grand Cru in the 1855 Médoc wine classification. The estate's history dates back to the 16th century, when it was part of a larger property called "Grand-Puy." In the 18th century, the Lacoste family acquired the estate, giving it its current name and helping to establish its reputation through significant investments. Since 1978, the château's history has been written by the Borie family. Jean-Eugène Borie first managed the estate. Today, François-Xavier Borie manages the estate with his daughter, Emeline Borie, ensuring continuity and stability essential to the consistent quality of this Grand Cru Classé. The vineyard is situated on a small gravelly hill, ensuring excellent drainage and optimal sun exposure. The soils are composed of deep gravels, characteristic of Pauillac, which retain heat during the day and release it to the grapes at night. The estate spans 90 hectares in total, with approximately 60 hectares under production, grouped in a single block around the château. The grape varietals are dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon (75%), complemented by Merlot (20%), and a small proportion of Cabernet Franc (5%). The average age of the vines is around 40 years, and the planting density is 10,000 vines/hectare, contributing to the concentration of the berries. The proximity of the Gironde estuary moderates the climate, promoting slow and steady ripening, which is essential for the finesse of this great Pauillac. Viticulture at Château Grand Puy Lacoste is guided by a deep commitment to sustainability, attested by Terra Vitis and HVE 3 (High Environmental Value Level 3) certifications. Mechanical plowing of the soil is favored, and the use of phytosanitary treatments is reduced to an absolute minimum, with no insecticides used for over 10 years. Double Guyot pruning is also practiced. Harvesting is exclusively manual, followed by a rigorous double selection of grape bunches before and after destemming, guaranteeing optimal fruit quality. The harvesters have come from the same Spanish village for over 50 years. Vinification takes place in stainless steel and wooden vats, allowing for precise temperature control and gentle extraction of tannins. Maceration lasts approximately three weeks, aiming to deeply extract phenolic compounds, aromas, and color. After fermentation, the wines are aged in French oak barrels for 18 months, with a high percentage of new wood (around 75% each year). The château also produces a second wine, Lacoste-Borie, reflecting the rigorous care taken in crafting the estate's wines. Château Grand Puy Lacoste is a « great classic » of Pauillac. Its wines are characterized by a deep color, aromas of ripe fruit, cedar, tobacco, and spices, with an elegant yet powerful structure. These are wines with great aging potential, requiring at least ten years of cellar aging to fully reveal their capabilities.
