The estate
Located in the heart of the Pauillac appellation, on the left bank of Bordeaux, Chateau Grand-Puy-Lacoste took its current form in 1855, although it was built as early as the 16th century. The estate was marked by the passage of Raymond Dupin from 1930 to 1978. He then sold the estate to the Borie family in 1978, who have since carried out some renovation work on the estate. Chateau Grand-Puy-Lacoste is one of the most prominent wines in the Pauillac appellation today.
