Château Lagrange – Grand Cru Classé Saint Julien – 2021

The 3rd Cru Classé in Saint-Julien, Château Lagrange has been owned by the Japanese beverage group Suntory since 1983. The vineyard has been gradually extended from 57 hectares to 118 today, cultivation methods refined and equipment modernized, with a vat room among the most sophisticated in the Médoc. The vines are planted on two beautiful ridges of deep Garonne gravel, mixed with sand and ferruginous clay. Today, Matthieu Bordes and Keiichi Shiina manage the estate with the advice of oenologist Eric Boissenot. Mainly made from Cabernet Sauvignon (67%), and Merlot (28%), Lagrange wines offer a consistency of quality recognized by wine-lovers: elegant structure, rich, suave and tasty fruit, with superb ageing potential.
