The Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste vineyard stretches across carefully selected plots, composed primarily of gravel and clay-limestone soils. These geological characteristics allow the vine roots to draw the minerality and richness of nutrients essential for creating characterful wines. The oceanic climate, with its mild winters and sunny summers, promotes optimal grape ripening, guaranteeing a beautiful concentration of aromas. This unique terroir, combined with traditional winemaking expertise, gives the wines a strong and distinctive identity.
