The history of Château Lagrange began with Mr Jean Valère Cabarrus, who bought the estate in 1796 and extended it before selling it in 1825.
The estate then went through some difficult times (war, viticultural crises and economic recession) and had numerous successive owners.
Since its acquisition in 1983 by the Japanese group Suntory and its management by Mr Marcel Ducasse, priority has been given to upgrading the vineyard and modernising its facilities. All this has helped make Château Lagrange one of the top wines of Saint-Julien.
Completely situated in the village of SaintJulien, the vineyard of Chateau Lagrange represents 118 hectares in red vines, spread over two hills with the slopes directed towards the North and the South, in one block. The subsoil is of clay and limestone and the topsoil is of pebbles and gravel. The climate is temperate and oceanic.
The 2014 Lagrange is beautiful. Bold, juicy and exuberant, the 2014 possesses good balance and rich texture.
The colour is dark with purple hues. Intense fruity aromas such as black cherry, blackcurrant and raspberry mingle with fine woody notes.
Sweet red cherry, pomegranate, iron, smoke and tobacco underpin a core of intense red-toned fruit in a super-expressive, layered wine endowed with real pedigree.
Very delicate and elegant, the attack is supple and fleshy with a long finish carried by the bold Cabernet Sauvignon.
A wine that is complete, complex and harmonious.
