Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste – One Of Bordeaux’s Most Popular Wines

The Pauillac 5th Growth estate of Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste is one of Bordeaux’s most popular chateaux. Combining classic style, real quality and class and very fair pricing, it’s a fantastic and affordable claret. It consistently punches above its price point and rarely puts a foot wrong.

The history of the estate goes back to the early 1700s, when the chateau that still stands was built. It was bought by the current owner, Francois-Xavier Borie in 1978 and in recent years has gone from strength to strength. Indeed, in the right vintages, this can get very close to Second or ever First Growth quality.

Grand Puy Lacoste is the first wine, with the second wine, Lacoste Borie, a charming sibling that provides a window into the house characteristics in a more open and forward style.

Quintessential Pauillac

Grand Puy Lacoste is one of the few properties in Bordeaux to have its vineyards in a single plot that surrounds the chateaux. These vineyards of cover some 90 hectares. They are composed of around 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc. The Grand Vin is typically a blend of around 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot.

The style Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste could be described as quintessential Pauillac. Expect plenty of cassis, cigar box and graphite on the nose. On the palate there are structured tannins and fine acidity, essential for longevity, that surround a core of pure black fruit. There’s plenty of substance and power, but never too much weight. Give it a few years in bottle the result is a harmonious, complex, delicious and very satisfying Bordeaux.

Tasting Notes

Tasting Notes

Neal Martin 94-96

The 2025 Grand-Puy-Lacoste is the first to be made in the new gravity-fed winery. It was picked between September 4 and 18 at 30 hl/ha, much lower than normal, with a high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon (76%). Matured in 65% new oak, it has a perfumed bouquet with blackberry and raspberry fruit, touches of graphite emerging with aeration, beautifully defined. The palate is medium-bodied with edgy tannins. Definitely one of the most refined GPLs that I have tasted at this stage, very harmonious, complex and engaging. Superb persistence on the finish, this is a complete Pauillac that is going to give immense pleasure. [Neal Martin, 31/05/2026]

Anticipated maturity: 2032-2060

Antonio Galloni 92-94

The 2025 Grand-Puy-Lacoste is a relatively fruity, soft wine for the chateau, notwithstanding the warm, dry year and yields 30 hectoliters per hectare (in line with the appellation, but much less than the norm). This is the first vintage Grand-Puy-Lacoste made in their new cellar, so the more vibrant style is not a total surprise. Even so, there is no question that 2025 opens the door to a new chapter. Stylistically, it is quite different from the wines that have preceded it. [Antonio Galloni, 31/05/2026]

Anticipated maturity: 2033-2065
