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 confined to the 2,274-hectare municipal district. It comprises 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 west of the village, above the hamlet of Bages. Situated on the heights of Pauillac, Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste is one of Bordeaux's historic highlights. Its name refers to its location on a "puy" (hill) and to the Lacoste family, who owned it during the famous 1855 classification. Since 1978, the estate has been owned by the Borie family, with François-Xavier Borie as its dedicated owner 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 produced grapes with excellent ripeness. Harvest took place manually from September 25th to October 8th. The vineyards are planted with 78% Cabernet Sauvignon and 22% Merlot, the grapes coming from vines with an average age of 40 years. The yield was 38 hl/ha.
Vinification and maturation of the wine
Vinification was carried out with minimal intervention to preserve the character of the vintage. The wine was aged in French oak barrels (70% new wood), which provided structure without overpowering the fruit. The final blending was completed in December 2024, resulting in a well-balanced wine with finesse and depth.
Color, aroma, and flavor profile of Grand-Puy-Lacoste 2024
This vintage boasts a deep garnet color and opens with an expressive bouquet of ripe black fruits and subtle floral notes such as violets. The palate is full and silky on the palate, with a perfect balance of structure, freshness, and refined tannins. The wine is approachable in its youth but also has great aging potential.

James Suckling
James Suckling 95-96/100 : “A very classic Grand-Puy-Lacoste that’s really clear, firm and linear. Mineral, delicate, perfumed and bright, it shows scented red berries and a touch of white pepper. The medium body is rounded by fine, dusty tannins and a long, very juicy finish. 78% cabernet sauvignon and 22% merlot”.

The 2024 Grand-Puy-Lacoste has a light bouquet for this estate, primarily revealing fresh black fruit laced with tobacco and light smoky scents. It is simple but exhibits impressive delineation. You get the feeling that the aromatics are holding something back. The palate is medium-bodied and classic Pauillac in style with all that graphite-tinged black fruit and edgy tannins. This is not a complex Grand-Puy-Lacoste per se, but I admire its balance, charm and gentle grip on the finish. This is classy in an unpretentious way.
- By Neal Martin on April 2025
Emeline Borie forgave me for turning up tardy after a mix-up with my schedule in Pauillac. “We didn’t have any mildew on the bunches, so we ended up with 38 hl/ha,” she tells me as we taste in the main château, her father Xavier Borie popping in to say bonjour. “We suffered just a little mildew pressure on the younger vines. In the end, the feeling we had was worse than the reality. It was super warm and super dry before harvest began on September 25, two weeks later than in recent vintages. We finished on October 8.”

The Grand-Puy-Lacoste family history archives date back to the 16th century. The first recorded owner was M. de Guiraud, a member of the Bordeaux parliament. The estate usually passed down female lines of inheritance and was the dowry in successive marriages. One of M. de Guiraud's daughters married M. de Jehan, another MP. Their son, Bertrand de Jehan, had a daughter who inherited the estate and married M. d'Issac. Traditionally, an owner's name was appended to a place name (such as Grand-Puy), but the hereditary daughters took their husbands' names upon marriage, which explains the numerous name changes by which Grand-Puy is known. When d'Issac's daughter married a Bordeaux lawyer named Saint Guirons, the property became "Grand-Puy Saint-Guirons", it was their daughter, Marie-Jeanne de Saint Guirons, who married François Lacoste. With this marriage in the 19th century, the property took on the name of Lacoste. Still, the name Saint-Guirons remained a reminder of the bond between the two families and of the estate's heritage, so for a time the wines were labeled 'Saint Guirons-Lacoste'. François Lacoste and Marie-Jeanne de Saint Guirons had three children, and after the death of the couple, their son Pierre-Frédéric Lacoste inherited the property in 1844. Pierre-Frédéric Lacoste was an enterprising man who was very devoted to his estate. Like François-Xavier Borie the next century, Lacoste focused on quality and improving the wine's reputation. In 1855 he rebuilt the château, and that same year Grand-Puy-Lacoste's status was officially recognized by its inclusion in the official list of Bordeaux's Great Classified Growths.
The history of Grand-Puy-Lacoste is fascinating in many ways. It is a family saga dating back to the 16th century. The name Grand-Puy, already mentioned in documents from the Middle Ages, comes from the old term "puy" which means "little knoll, small height". The vineyard lives up to its name and is located on outcrops with a terroir similar to that of the first vegetation of the Médoc. From the 16th century, the property remained linked to a single family from generation to generation, in a direct line through marriage until 1920, before being linked to another family in 1978: the Borie.
The castle has been owned by the Borie family since 1978. Jean-Eugène Borie's eldest son, François-Xavier, gradually renovated the property in vineyard, cellars and château. The Borie family has a long history of winemaking at the highest level with properties such as Château Haut Batailley and Château Ducru-Beaucaillou, respectively 5th and 2nd Grand Cru Classé. François-Xavier is now assisted by his daughter Emeline, who is responsible for the château's PR. With the purchase of Grand Puy Lacoste, the Borie family has awakened a "sleeping beauty". Now the domain has great prestige and is at the top of the classification in Pauillac.
Grand-Puy-Lacoste is located in the Pauillac terroir, one of the six common appellations of the Médoc along the left bank of the Gironde. The Pauillac appellation is limited to the municipal district of 2,274 hectares. It boasts 18 properties classified in 1855 (about 85% of the appellation's total production). The commune is separated from Saint-Estèphe in the north by the marshy area of Breuil and from Saint-Julien in the south by the hollow formed by the stream Juillac. The Grand-Puy plateau is located to the west of the village, above the hamlet of Bages. This offshoot of the grounds (called a "puy" in the old local dialect)
