The history of Grand-Puy-Lacoste is fascinating in many ways. It is a family saga going back to the 16th century. The name Grand-Puy, already mentioned in documents from the Middle Ages, comes from the ancient term "puy” which means "hillock, small height”. True to its name, the vineyard sits on outcrops with a terroir similar to that of the Médoc's first growths. From Since the 16th century the property remained attached to a single family from generation to generation, in a direct line through marriage until 1920, before connecting with another family in 1978—the Borie. Chateau Lacoste-Borie is the second wine of Grand-Puy-Lacoste. 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot & 10% Cabernet Franc. Foward style and can be drunk relatively early. Ruby colour, red & black fruit flavours.
