Château Lacoste Borie - 2004 - Château Grand Puy Lacoste
Ref: A038204
Pauillac (Second wine of Château Grand Puy Lacoste)

Grand-Puy-Lacoste dates back as early as 1743 when it was known to be surrounded by a few rows of vines. Lawyers and parliamentarians succeeded one another at the head of what was one of the first vineyards to develop in the area. In 1978, Raymond Dupin, who had a reputation of being one of Bordeaux's greatest gourmets, sold the château to Jean-Eugéne Borie, owner of Ducru-Beaucaillou. The château has been run since then by Jean-Eugéne's son Xavier. Xavier began a remodeling program which completely modernised the ancient and dilapidated cellars. The resurgence of Grand-Puy-Lacoste to the forefront of leading Pauillacs, expected to take several years, was immediately apparent with Xavier's first vintage at the château. Château Lacoste Borie is the second wine and the traditional vinification is carried out in oak vats followed by aging in new or nearly new barrels. Time spent in barrels is 18 to 20 months. The result is a heady wine wine with powerful fruit but still dominated by big tannins. Maturity within 8 to 15 years. Cabernet Sauvignon 75% Merlot 25%
