Description

Lacoste-Borie is the second wine of Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste, which was created in the ^18th century by an adviser to the Bordeaux Parliament. It is still in the hands of the family that gave it its name, Borie, which also owns other grands crus classés in the region. This château sits on one of the most beautiful terroirs in all of Pauillac, which is composed of gravel that drains perfectly. The Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot that make up this cuvée are carefully cultivated, hand-harvested, rigorously sorted, destemmed and vinified in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. The wine is then matured in barrels which give it a beautiful structure balanced by the roundness of the Merlot. While it can be enjoyed in its youth, it can also benefit from being aged for a few years in the cellar.

Vintage 2024 blend: 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc.

Vinous: “The 2024 Lacoste Borie is a very pretty second wine. Crushed flowers, bright red-toned fruit, blood orange, spice and pomegranate are nicely pushed forward in this mid-weight Pauillac from the Borie family. The 2024 will be a delight right out of the gate.”
