Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste: heritage and terroir in the heart of Pauillac Grand-Puy-Lacoste is located in the Pauillac terroir, one of the six communal appellations of the Médoc along the left bank of the Gironde. The Pauillac appellation is limited to the 2,274-hectare municipal district. It features 18 properties classified in 1855 (approximately 85% of the appellation's total production). The commune is separated from Saint-Estèphe to the north by the marshy area of Breuil and from Saint-Julien to the south by the hollow formed by the Juillac stream. The Grand-Puy plateau lies to the west of the village, above the hamlet of Bages. Situated on the heights of Pauillac, Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste belongs to the historic top of Bordeaux. The name refers to its location on a “Puy” (hill) and to the Lacoste family, who were the owners in 1855 during the famous classification. Since 1978, the estate has been in the hands of the Borie family, with François-Xavier Borie as dedicated resident and manager. The 64 hectares of vineyards surround the château in a single contiguous block – a rarity among classified crus. Climate, vineyards and grape varieties The 2024 vintage was characterized by a mild winter and an early growth cycle. Despite some climatic challenges such as coulure and millerandage in May, the year yielded grapes of excellent ripeness. The harvest took place by hand from September 25 to October 8. The vineyards are planted with 78% Cabernet Sauvignon and 22% Merlot, the grapes of which come from vines with an average age of 40 years. The yield was 38 hl/ha. Vinification and aging of the wine Vinification was carried out with minimal intervention to preserve the character of the vintage. The wine matured in French oak barrels (70% new), which provided structure without overpowering the fruit. The final blend was completed in December 2024, resulting in a balanced wine with finesse and depth.
