Château Grand Puy Lacoste
Château Grand Puy Lacoste was built in 1855 by Pierre-Fréderic Lacoste. The château, located in Pauillac, owes its name to the magnificent location of the vineyards on a pebble hill (Le Puy) and the former owners: the Lacoste family. From 1932 to 1978, the château belonged to Raymond Dupin, a wealthy merchant, who restored the château's reputation. Since 1978, the Borie family, also owners of Château Haut Batailley (5th Grand Cru Classé) and Château Ducru-Beaucaillou (2nd Grand Cru Classé) have been in charge. Jean-Eugène Borie and his son François-Xavier have made huge investments to improve and modernize the domain. As a result, this “sleeping beauty” was shaken awake. Today, the domain is highly regarded and Château Grand Puy Lacoste is often feared by the big names from Pauillac in blind tastings.
