CHÂTEAU LAGRANGE 2018

Château Lagrange 2018

“Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Lagrange explodes from the glass with bombastic notes of crème de cassis, chocolate-covered cherries and baked red and black plums with suggestions of rose oil, cedar chest, pencil lead and hoisin. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has fantastic vibrancy for the ripeness, packed with juicy black fruits and compelling tension with a finely grained texture to support, finishing on a lingering mineral note. Nicely done!” – 95/100, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

3ᵉ Grand Cru Classé – 1855, St-Julien Appellation | Range | Château Lagrange

Château Lagrange’s vineyard stretches over two Gunzian gravel slopes where the highest point of Saint-Julien thrones on the beautiful estate.

Harmony is the key word for each and every man and woman at the Château. We never force Mother Nature, we merely guide her. Each year, the work in the vineyard, where attention to detail and age-old traditions are combined, gives birth to a unique, elegant, powerful wine able to age well over time.

Over 35 years ago, our vineyard was re-planted and re-structured, resulting in today’s well balanced and distinguished wines, honed by the magic of time.

Expressing the best of each terroir: with this objective in mind, we re-organized the vinification cellar with one stainless steel vat adapted to each and every plot in the vineyard.

Let Time fulfil its mission. A benevolent eye is kept on our wines as they mature gently in the barrel ageing cellars.
