Producer Information

Chteau Grand-Puy-Lacoste is a wine estate situated on a low hillock (or “puy”) above the village of Bages in the Pauillac region of the Mdoc. Classified as a fifth growth in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification, the Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant grand vin is known for its velvety texture and cigar box and cassis aromas. A second wine, Lacoste-Borie, is made from lots declassified from the grand vin and tends to have a higher proportion of Merlot. Grand-Puy-Lacoste, sometimes shortened to “GPL” in some circles, is a well-regarded estate. Sometimes considered as outperforming its fifth-growth status, it is often cited for its good value among its stablemates and neighbors in Pauillac. Chteau Lynch-Bages (a prime contender for reclassification higher than its 1855 status as another fifth gowth) lies due east, with Chteau Batailley to the south. Due north, albeit over one of the drainage streams that bisect the Haut-Mdoc in this area, is Chteau Pontet-Canet (another fifth growth that far outperforms its initial ranking) while to the west is Grand Puy Ducasse. The Grand-Puy-Lacoste vineyard is sited around the eponymous chteau and covers 55 hectares (136 acres) of the wider estate. It is planted 75 percent to Cabernet Sauvignon, 20 percent Merlot and 5 percent Cabernet Franc.
