A delicate Pauillac wine with fine aromatic expression
The estate
Elevated to the rank of Fifth Growth in the 1855 Classification, Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste spans 90 hectares, including 55 hectares of vines located in Pauillac, in the Bordeaux Médoc. Purchased in 1978 by Jean-Eugène Borie, the estate is now run by François-Xavier Borie, joined since 2010 by his daughter Émeline Borie. Set on rises of deep gravel, it benefits from a renowned terroir, mentioned as far back as the Middle Ages. Present in the Médoc since 1886, the Borie family has made this property a benchmark of the Pauillac appellation.
The vineyard
Grouped into a single block, this Pauillac vineyard extends over 55 hectares of deep gravel on gently undulating terrain. The vines have an average age of 38 years. The estate favors mechanical soil work through ploughing and manages the vines following a sustainable approach.
Grape varieties
Cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc and merlot.
