Located in the heart of the Pauillac appellation, the vineyard of Grand-Puy-Lacoste is situated on a unique "puy" or hill, rising twenty meters above sea level. This remarkable terroir consists of deep, coarse gravel deposits from the Quaternary period, which provide natural drainage and radiate heat to ensure the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes reach perfect maturity. The estate manages ninety hectares of land, with sixty hectares of vines planted at a high density of 10,000 vines per hectare to encourage deep root growth. Under the watchful eye of the Borie family, the winemaking process is defined by "precision," from the hand-picking of the harvest to a long maceration and aging for up to 18 months in French oak barrels, 75% of which are new for each vintage.
