"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!"RP

Château Lagrange

The Japanese group Suntory acquired the domain when the purchase was signed by the company president Mr Keizo Saji in1983.Marcel Ducasse was then recruited along with Kenji Suzuta to undertake the complete restructuring of the vineyard and a spectacular renovation of the whole estate. This first step was to mark the rebirth of CHÂTEAU LAGRANGE.After twenty years of dedicated work as well as human and technical investments Lagrange had once again found recognition amidst its peers and had achieved a certain sense of fulfilment.Today a new tandem Matthieu Bordes and Keiichi Shiina have taken over this quest for excellence. A second phase of investments began with the 2008 vintage offering Lagrange the technical means to follow its ambitions: The production of refined elegant and expressive wines in the best Saint-Julien style. There has also been an evolution of production methods towards a greater awareness of the environment and a reduction of ecological impact on the property.This philosophy is reflected not only in the respect shown for the domain’s History and the nurturing of its truly exceptional Terroir but also in the unique experiences shared all over the world around a glass of one of Lagrange’s wines.
