Chateau Grand-Puy-Lacoste is a 90 hectare estate located in the terroir of Pauillac, one of the eight appellations of Médoc, on the left bank of the estuary of the Gironde. Puy, the old French word for “plateau,” refers to the flatter part of the terrain that rises to a height of about 20 meters above sea level. This particular terroir is ideal for wine production for several reasons, including a temperate climate, nutrient rich soil, and inhabitants who are skilled in the art of winemaking.
