Grand-Puy-Lacoste is the finest of Pauillac's 5th classified growths, held with competence and care by Mr. François-Xavier Borie and his children. The latest vintages show even greater aromatic precision and tannin nobility, especially the superb 2020 vintage.
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.
J-M Quarin: 97/100 “A deep red colour with black highlights. Intense, refined, fruity, pure and deep on the nose. Hints of ink and liquorice when swirled in the glass. Extremely delicate on the palate, with a graceful texture and a refined richness that coats the palate, offering plenty of flavour (liquorice, violet); the wine develops into a long, powerful and nuanced finish with a lush, fine-grained aftertaste. An impeccable wine.”
Vinous (N.Martin) : 94-96/100 "The 2025 Grand-Puy-Lacoste is the first to be made in the new gravity-fed winery. It has a perfumed bouquet with blackberry and raspberry fruit, touches of graphite emerging with aeration, beautifully defined. The palate is medium-bodied with edgy tannins. Definitely one of the most refined GPLs that I have tasted at this stage, very harmonious, complex and engaging. Superb persistence on the finish, this is a complete Pauillac that is going to give immense pleasure."
Vinous (A. Galloni) : 92-94/100 "The 2025 Grand-Puy-Lacoste is a relatively fruity, soft wine for the château, notwithstanding the warm, dry year and yields 30 hectoliters per hectare (in line with the appellation, but much less than the norm). This is the first vintage Grand-Puy-Lacoste made in their new cellar, so the more vibrant style is not a total surprise. Even so, there is no question that 2025 opens the door to a new chapter. Stylistically, it is quite different from the wines that have preceded it."
