Château Lagrange: A Saint-Julien Classic, Third Growth Perfection

Château Lagrange, classified as a Third Growth in 1855, stands as a beacon of quality within the prestigious Saint-Julien appellation. Set on the highest point of the Médoc, this Grand Vin Rouge is a testament to the meticulous standards upheld since the Japanese Suntory group took ownership in 1983. It successfully marries the richness of its gravel terroir with state-of-the-art winemaking, guaranteeing a reliable and consistently superb wine.

Tasting Notes

• **Colour:** A deep, intense garnet hue, with a vibrant rim when young.
• **Nose:** The bouquet is complex and aristocratic, featuring pronounced blackcurrant, dark cherry, and cassis fruit, underpinned by savory notes of cedarwood, tobacco leaf, and a hint of violet.
• **Palate:** Full-bodied and structured, the wine maintains remarkable elegance. The tannins are fine-grained and silky, providing a long, persistent finish with a refreshing lift. It is a quintessential Saint-Julien, offering both power and poise.

Food Matching & Serving

A wine of this stature pairs perfectly with classic British Sunday roasts and game dishes. Serve at 16-18°C. We strongly advise decanting young bottles for 2-3 hours to soften the structure and enhance the aromatics. This wine is a cellar investment and a pleasure to drink.
