The Grand-Puy plateau rises to the west of the village of Pauillac, one of the six communal appellations of the Médoc, on the left bank of the Gironde estuary. 
It is here, around the Château, that the ninety hectares of land of Grand-Puy-Lacoste stretch out harmoniously and without discontinuity, sixty-four of which are planted with vines. Unusually in the history of the Grands Crus Classés of 1855, the plots have remained identical to the land register of the time.

Since the Borie family assumed control of the domain in 1978, the vineyard has undergone systematic planting, achieving a harmonious balance between young and old vines, with an average age of thirty-eight years. Maintaining a vigilant focus on quality, the planting density reaches ten thousand vines per hectare, equating to one vine per square metre.

Cabernet Sauvignon, the preeminent noble grape variety that serves as the backbone of the domain's wines, accounts for the majority (75%). Merlot (20%) and Cabernet Franc (5%) add nuances to the blends and enhance the distinctive character of the wine.
