  • What the experts say...

    (...) Parfaitement épanoui -peut-être même sur le déclin en petit format - ill affiche une robe rubis-grenat foncé fortement nuancée d'orange et de rouille sur le bord, et exhale un nez renversant de doux cassis et de cèdre. L'attaque en bouche révèle, outre un caractère glycériné, la belle richesse typique des grands millésimes et une texture opulente et tout en rondeur. (...) Source : Robert Parker (9/97)

    The wine

    Grand-Puy Lacoste's vineyard is planted on gravelly soil and has the particularity of not having any Cabernet Franc. The resulting wines have a great capacity to age. Richly-coloured, tannic, vigorous and full-bodied, they are considered to be a perfect example of classic Pauillac. In good vintages they can rival the Médoc's finest wines.

    Information about domain Château Grand Puy Lacoste

    Located on the Bages plateau in Pauillac, this château results of the division of the immense domain Grand-Puy Lacoste in the 18th century into Château Lynch-Bages and Château Grand Puy Ducasse. Classified fifth growth in 1855, François-Xavier Borie managed to raise Grand-Puy Lacoste among the best of the appellation. The second wine of the property is called Lacoste-Borie.
