The history of the Grand-Puy-Lacoste is fascinating in many ways. It is a family saga that dates back to the 16th century. The name Grand-Puy, already mentioned in documents from the Middle Ages, comes from the ancient term "puy", meaning "hill, small height". True to its name, the vineyard sits on a terroir similar to that of the first crus of the Médoc. Since the 16th century, the property has remained linked to a single family from generation to generation, through marriages until 1920, before it passed into the hands of another family in 1978, the Borie family. The Borie family has owned the property since 1978. François-Xavier Borie has restored its grandeur and preserved its spirit. Grand-Puy-Lacoste does not belong to a large company; it remains family-owned. Jean-Eugène Borie, who loved the Médoc and its vineyards, bought the property in 1978. He entrusted his eldest son, François-Xavier, who has gradually restored the château and its winemaking facilities. Today, his eldest daughter, Emeline, works at his side. This vineyard occupies a special place in the history of the great growths of the Médoc, as its size and composition has not changed since 1855, the domain having been passed down from generation to generation. The heritage of Grand-Puy-Lacoste is exceptionally rich in history and tradition, and the Borie family is honored to be entrusted with its future. Grand-Puy-Lacoste's inclusion in the 1855 classification placed it among the "elite" of Bordeaux wines.
