Decanter

Beautiful vibrant colour in the glass with a pink rim. So fragrant with rose petals and red cherries – smells pristine, really clear and clean. Smooth and sappy with lovely succulence straight away and mouthwatering acidity. This is delicious, tastes like grape juice with grippy tannins and a chalky, graphite finish. Crunchy, delicate yet super flavourful, crisp with high acidity and lovely Cabernet freshness plus mint, aniseed and clove spice. Strength is there. A yield of 30hl/ha. New cellar with more precise plot selection. Small crop but good quality. Earliest ever Merlot harvest on 4 September, Cabernets picked 14-18th. Rain on 13/14th helped reduce alcohol a little in the Cabernets.

Forward, soft, sweet, and fruity, the cassis comes through easily on the medium-bodied, fresh, sweet, vibrant, crisp, palate. Give it just a year or two in the bottle and this is going to be a fine, baby Grand Puy Lacoste. The wine blends 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, and 8% Cabernet Franc. Drink from 2028-2040. 89-91 Pts

High Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend, and this has excellent vivacity and juice, blueberry, raspberry, cloves, slate, great lift and character. This is now entirely made from a separate part of the vineyard (marked by the new Vignes du Parc' on the label), and is the first vintage vinified in the new winery. 15% new oak for ageing.

Lacoste-Borie stands out with clarity and authenticity, clearly expressing where it comes from. Meanwhile, most of the vines it comes from are 30 years old… and it’s a true wine of place! Alongside graphite notes, it reveals aromas of red and black berries with a touch of fresh oak. Its creamy texture suggests a wine of good density, confirmed by tannins that sustain its breadth and champion its freshness, also thanks to the incisive edge of its acidity. A Lacoste-Borie that has come a long way and deserves to be regarded as a wine in its own right.

Jean-Marc Quarin

Vibrant color with purple highlights. Intense, fruity nose, pure and fresh, developing raspberry notes with a swirl of the glass. Delicate on entry, very flavorful on the mid-palate with bright intensity, the wine finishes long with a touch of liveliness that will integrate with aging. Blend: 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc. Alcohol: 13% - pH: 3.6 - IPT: 59. Yield: 30 hl/ha.

The indulgent and elegant expression of a Pauillac second wine

The estate

Located at the heart of the Pauillac appellation, on the Left Bank of Bordeaux, Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste took its current form in 1855, although it was originally built in the 16th century. The estate was shaped by Raymond Dupin, who owned it from 1930 to 1978. He then handed it over to the Borie family in 1978, who have since carried out numerous renovations. Today, Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste is one of the most representative crus of the Pauillac appellation.

The vineyard

The plots dedicated to this Second Wine of the estate are located west of the château's park, in the heart of the Pauillac appellation, surrounded by prestigious classified growths. Replanted starting in 1978, this vineyard, with an average age of over 30 years, lies on sandy-gravelly soils composed of fine alluvium, with a planting density of 7,000 vines per hectare. Vineyard work is focused on agroecology: natural grass cover, the planting of hedges and trees since 2015, and winter grazing by a flock of sheep.

The label of this 2025 vintage bears the mention "Vignes du Parc," referring to the vineyard over 30 years old from which this cuvée originates.

The vintage

The 2025 year was marked by remarkable earliness. After a mild and relatively dry winter, budburst occurred uniformly from late March. Spring, spared from humidity, ensured excellent sanitary conditions and allowed for ideal flowering beginning on May 19. The summer proved hot and dry, leading to rapid veraison on July 15, with the entire vineyard fully colored by the end of the month. Some welcome rainfall from August 29 onward shifted the end of the season before manual harvesting took place from September 4 to 18. The yield reached 30 hl/ha.

Vinification and aging

The making of this Lacoste-Borie begins with exclusively manual harvesting, followed by vinification in vats suited to each plot to favor gentle extractions. Macerations are long, ranging from 18 to 21 days depending on the lot. The wine is then aged for 14 months in a dedicated cellar, in French oak barrels.

Grape varieties

The blend is composed of Cabernet Sauvignon (68%), Merlot (24%), and Cabernet Franc (8%). The presence of the latter brings beautiful freshness, vibrant fruit, and great elegance.
