Château Puy-Lacoste is one of the oldest wine estates in the Medoc, situated on a hillock above the village of Bages in the Pauillac region of the Médoc. Classified as a fifth growth in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification, the Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant grand vin is known for its velvety texture and cigar box and cassis aromas. The history of Grand-Puy-Lacoste is fascinating in many ways. It is a family saga going back to the 16th century.
