The 55 hectare vineyard of Grand Puy Lacoste is in one large block on the hill of Pauillac, just off the D1, if you are driving to the estate. This can be divided into 2 gravel hills. A large portion of their vines are placed around the chateau, with a smaller portion of vines located southwest. They have good neighbors as Chateau Pontet Canet is just to the south and Chateau Lynch Bages is located to the west.
The vineyard of Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste remains unchanged since the 1855 Classification of the Medoc. The terroir is filled with gravel, large pebbles and stones in the soil over a bed of limestone. The vineyard is planted to 75% Cabernet Sauvignon , 20% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc . The Cabernet Franc was not always planted at the estate. In fact, for much of their history, only two grape varieties were planted, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The vines are planted to a vine density of 10,000 vines per hectare. On average the vines are 38 years of age. But the estate has old vines as well that date all the way back back to 1947.
Lacoste-Borie came in to being in 1982 and has a superb reputation since. The 1990 vintage was an outstanding vintage for left bank wines.
