Lacoste-Borie 2023

A Balanced and Delicate Second Wine from Pauillac

The estate

Located in the heart of the Pauillac appellation, on the left bank of Bordeaux, the Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste took its current form in 1855, although it was built as early as the 16th century. The vineyard was marked by the passage of Raymond Dupin from 1930 to 1978. He then sold the property to the Borie family in 1978 who have since carried out numerous renovations. Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste is today one of the most representative crus of the Pauillac appellation.

Lacoste-Borie is the Second Wine of the estate.

The vineyard

This Lacoste-Borie 2023 is a Pauillac wine from a 90-hectare vineyard, 60 of which are planted in one piece. The vines, with an average age of 38 years, are planted on deep gravelly ridges.

The vintage

Winter rainfall is followed by a warm March, promoting a rapid start to the vegetative cycle and an early bud break (March 31) as in 2022. Flowering is also early. In spring, the alternation of high temperatures with humid conditions leads to high mildew pressure, controlled thanks to the rigor of the teams. Veraison is also recorded in advance. The summer is dry with a hot August.

Vinification and aging

Manual harvesting is followed by double sorting on a vibrating table before and after destemming. Maceration for about 3 weeks. Aging in French oak barrels (75% new).

Blend

This Lacoste-Borie 2023 is a blend of cabernet sauvignon (56%), merlot (33%) and cabernet franc (11%).
