Château Lagrange is located in Saint-Julien and is classified as a Troisièmes Grands Crus Classés of the Médoc. The estate has a long history and boasts extensive vineyards. The 2018 vintage combines ripe dark fruit with the structured style of the Left Bank.
Château Lagrange was classified as a third cru in 1855. The estate received a new lease on life in the 20th century when the Japanese group Suntory acquired it in 1983 and invested in the vineyards and wine production. This international history is a notable chapter in the château’s development. Saint-Julien is known for its gravelly soils and wines in which Cabernet Sauvignon plays a major role. The year 2018 began wet in Bordeaux, with significant pressure from fungal diseases. This was followed by a warm and dry summer, which resulted in ripe grapes and concentrated wines for successful producers. In this vintage, Château Lagrange combines dark fruit with a classic structure and fresh vibrancy. The wine will continue to develop in the bottle, with notes of cedar, tobacco, and subtle earthy aromas gradually coming to the fore.
Expect blackcurrant, black cherries, blackberries, cedar, and subtle spices. The flavor is full-bodied and well-balanced, with tannins that complement the ripe fruit and a long finish.
Serve at around 16 to 18 degrees Celsius. Let the wine breathe a bit if necessary. Pair with lamb, grilled beef, game, or aged hard cheese.
