From the Producer
Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste is a Pauillac winery and one of eighteen Cinquièmes Crus in the 1855 classification, with a vineyard of roughly 36 hectares planted to about 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc on deep gravel over a limestone base (Wikipedia, "Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste"). Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by around 18 months in oak barrels, of which half are new each vintage. The estate's second wine is Lacoste-Borie.
