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 label is inspired by the painter Matisse, whose work Vincent admires, blending joyful colours and rounded shapes. It reflects the expressive and surprising combination of fruit from resistant grape varieties and estate-grown Sichuan pepper.

Made from 100% Floréal. The grapes are picked at first light, in the cool of the morning, to preserve their aromas. They are then pressed and the juice is kept at low temperature before being carbonated. The bottles are pasteurised to preserve the natural aromas of the grape juice, and the wine is finished with a hint of Timut pepper grown on the estate.

A bright, alcohol-free sparkler made from the white grape Floréal. Exotic fruit aromas meet a gentle touch of estate-grown Timut pepper and its subtle sweet spice. Fresh and lightly sparkling, with a smooth, rounded palate and a clean finish.

Bordeaux is one of the most celebrated and highly-regarded wine regions, with the classification of 1855 solidifying the wines as some of the best in the world. Bordeaux is broken down into 2 main categories - the left and right bank of the Gironde, with many appellations and sub-appellations in those areas. The wines on the left bank are predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon blended with Merlot. The right bank is the opposite. White Bordeaux, found mainly towards the South of the region, is made up of mostly Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. Bordeaux ranges from fantastic value, entry level wines all the way to First Growth Grand Crus that are amongst the most sought after wines in the world.
