2025 Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste - Pauillac (750ml) [Bordeaux Future ETA 2028]
Grand-Puy-Lacoste, a grand cru that delights every wine lover
2025 marks a major milestone in the history of Grand-Puy-Lacoste. This vintage is the first to be vinified in the new gravity-fed vat room, one of the most structurally significant projects undertaken by the estate over the past decade. Now comprising 24 stainless-steel vats, it enables a more precise plot-by-plot approach, with suitably adapted capacities of 99 hl and 76 hl. To celebrate this turning point, the 2025 vintage will be presented in a screen-printed bottle, symbolising the union of family tradition, innovation and the distinctive expression of Grand-Puy-Lacoste’s terroir.
The "Variation" Box, the perfect gift
Each year during the en primeur campaign, there is the opportunity to package the wines in the famous 'Caisse Variation'. Developed exclusively for the estate and its wines, this case holds the equivalent of 12 bottles (9 liters) and includes: 1 Double Magnum, 2 Magnums, and 4 Bottles, all elegantly arranged in a wooden case. Whether it's for Grand-Puy-Lacoste or the more budget-friendly Lacoste-Borie, this case format is ideal for gifting on occasions such as births, weddings, anniversaries, or other special events.

The 2025 vintage : a new gravity-flow winery
The 2025 vintage at Grand-Puy-Lacoste stands out for the record-breaking early start to the harvest, driven by a growing cycle that was already well advanced from spring onwards.After a mild and relatively dry winter, the spring, also dry, helped maintain excellent vineyard health and encouraged steady vine growth. The estate is also continuing its agro-ecological approach with the introduction of vitipastoralism, using a flock of 100 sheep to graze naturally across certain plots.
Tasting notes
Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste 2025 is once again defined by a high proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon (76%), placing it firmly in the lineage of the estate’s greatest vintages, combining depth, precision and elegance. The palate is ample and structured, revealing fine tannins and a beautiful freshness, a true signature of the terroir. A refined, complete and harmonious wine, faithful to the château’s style.
