CHATEAU LAGRANGE LES FIEFS DE LAGRANGE
You Save: $14.00 (20%)
Created in 1983 in order to increase the quality of the Grand Vin through a more drastic selection, the second wine of Château Lagrange was among the first in this category and is today appraised for its intrinsic qualities. Vinified from vines that are already 30 years old on average, half of which are Cabernet Sauvignon, and aged for thirteen months in barrels which are 20% new, it is characterised by supple tannins and offers substantial ageing potential. With a very pure elegance from the beginning, it will gain in depth and intensity over the years.
