Perched on two beautiful Gunzian gravel ridges, Lagrange’s 118-hectare vineyard spreads over an impressive single block in the Saint-Julien appellation. For decades now the uncompromising quest for excellence has been a true philosophy here, thanks to an exceptional terroir and the team’s innovative and precise approach. Year after year, the traditional painstaking vine-care and plot-by-plot vinification give birth to an elegant, powerful wine with wonderful ageing potential.
This wine is the perfect expression of the estate’s original terroir. A harmonious marriage of finesse and power, it offers aromas of blackcurrant and black cherry along with spicy, smoky notes. Typical of a great Saint-Julien, as the years go by it develops notes of cedar, liquorice or tobacco. The elegance of its tannins gives it a flavoursome and perfectly balanced structure, suggesting excellent ageing potential. The complex alchemy of the property’s three grape varieties means this “grand vin” is a perfect expression of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot in fusion. Bright in its youth, a slow, serene ageing in the bottle confers true finesse over time.
