The Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste 1988 is a classic red Bordeaux wine from the Pauillac appellation, a Fifth Growth (Cinquième Cru Classé) in the esteemed 1855 Bordeaux Classification. Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste has a long history, dating back to the Middle Ages, with its name referencing the `Grand Puy` (large hill) of gravelly soil it sits upon and the Lacoste family who owned it. Since 1978, the estate has been under the ownership and meticulous care of the Borie family, specifically François-Xavier Borie and now his daughter Emeline.
