Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste is a wine estate situated on a low hill above the village of Bages in the Pauillac region of the Médoc.

It is classically styled and ages with grace for many decades.

Critics Ratings

'Pure crème de cassis, licorice and spice are all present in this wine from Xavier Borie. Medium to full-bodied and ripe, with sweet tannin and a nicely textured mouthfeel, this is a beauty that should continue to drink well for another 15 or so years." - ­Tasted 2015 - Robert Parker 92/100
