LACOSTE BORIE
Second wine from Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste

Grand-Puy Lacoste’s second wine, made from the “vignes du parc” – a collection of plots of “young vines” (now 30 years old!) on sandy-gravelly soil. The blend gives pride of place to Merlot (20–30%) for added roundness, and incorporates some excellent Cabernet Franc plots which lend it freshness and elegance.

Fruity, smooth, silky and ever-elegant: Lacoste-Borie is a classic at an affordable price.

Lacoste-Borie Vignes du Parc. From the 2025 vintage onwards, Lacoste-Borie is changing its label to include the words ‘Vignes du Parc’. Uprooted between the two world wars, left fallow for 50 years and replanted from 1978 onwards, these plots—now dedicated solely to the production of the second wine—comprise 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot and 8% Cabernet Franc.

Variation Case. Equivalent to a case of 12 bottles, the Variation Case brings together three complementary sizes in a single box — 1 double magnum, 2 magnums and 4 bottles — allowing you to follow the wine’s development over several decades. It also includes an invitation for an exclusive tour of the Château, valid indefinitely, for 4 people. A great way to celebrate a special occasion (wedding, birth, etc.) over the long term.

Vinous (N.Martin) : 90-92/100 "The 2025 Lacoste-Borie is now labelled "Vignes du Parc", in reference to the fact that this comes from different soils and planting density, i.e. different to Grand Puy Lacoste. It has a vivacious bouquet with abundant redcurrant and strawberry scents, well defined, with just a light hint of bell pepper from the 8% Cabernet Franc. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, good tension, a seam of graphite that pins it down as Pauillac. Modest length. This has a pleasing rondeur that will make it approachable and charming, yet there is still fine substance. This would make a perfect introduction to the delights of Pauillac."
