Domaine Vincent Lacoste

Lacoste is the story of a Bordeaux family spanning generations. In 1856, they acquired their first vineyards on the highest bank of the Garonne River, just 30 minutes southwest of Bordeaux. Today, their vineyards are composed of 50% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, with the remainder dedicated to white varieties, predominantly Sémillon.

After decades of commercial evolution, economic shifts, and technological advancements, sixth-generation winemaker Vincent initiated a transformation in 2005, converting the estate to organic viticulture.

Vincent’s wines are crafted to be modern, approachable, and playful. He employs gentle extraction techniques, avoids oak influence, and steers clear of lees contact, ensuring a delicate, pure expression of fruit. The labels, designed by local artist and cartoonist Nono, reflect this spirit. Dompter la Bête and Nature (his no-sulphur cuvée) pay homage to the château’s gardener, who has tended the estate for over 50 years. His latest creation, Claret, is a light, chilled red made from co-fermented Merlot and Sémillon under semi-carbonic maceration.
