Grand-Puy-Lacoste的90公頃土地中,有55公頃種植了葡萄;葡萄園的土壤是礫石表土,其下為石灰石層,貧瘠而排水良好。1978年Borie家族接手後就有計畫地慢慢更新葡萄樹,依據土壤特色選擇種植的品種,目前種植了75% Cabernet Sauvignon、20% Merlot 和 5% Cabernet Franc,平均樹齡38歲。酒液在溫控不銹鋼槽發酵後,在法國橡木桶(50%新桶)中培養熟成18個月。
以Grand-Puy-Lacoste近年來的優異表現和價位來看,它有頗為優異的C/P值,被酒評家們認為有四級,甚至是三級的水準。想品嚐Pauillac頂級酒莊的風味,Grand-Puy-Lacoste是划算的選擇。

The 2014 Grand-Puy-Lacoste has a much more approachable nose than usual, vibrant with red cherries, wild strawberry and cedar aromas, backed up with mineral-soaked blackberry fruit. This gathers momentum wonderfully in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin. The acidity is very well judged with purity and elegance on the finish, if not the structure or backbone commonly found is very top vintages. I've been a bit conservative with my score at the moment, but I am sure it will prove its worth with 3-5 more years in bottle, hence the plus sign. One to watch.
