Château LAGRANGE 1992
Château Lagrange is located in Saint-Julien, in the Bordeaux region. It was classified Third Grand Cru Classé in the 1855 classification. In 1790, Jean-Valère Cabarrus, shipowner and influential merchant, invests in the property and builds its commercial distribution. He had the Tuscan Tower built by Visconti in 1820, which had become the emblem of Château Lagrange. The Japanese group Suntory, under the leadership of its president Keizo Saji, acquired the estate in 1983. Marcel Ducasse was then recruited alongside Kenji Suzuta to lead this in-depth restructuring of the vineyard and begin the renovation of the estate. Today a new tandem, Matthieu Bordes and Keiichi Shiina, are pursuing a second phase of investments. On the total surface of the property of 157 hectares, 118 hectares are planted with vines.
Château Lagrange is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. The vinification is traditional, with moderate daily pumping over or punching down. The final wine is aged for 21 months in barrels, 50% of which are new.
Grape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot
