Château Lagrange
Château Lagrange is located in the Saint-Julien appellation. The estate was classified as 3rd Cru in the Bordeaux classification in 1855.
The long and rich history of Château Lagrange began in 1796 when Jean Valére Cabarrus became the imperial count and Minister of Finance of Napoleon I in Spain. It was he who expanded the estate through numerous purchases until 1825. When the estate was purchased by a Japanese company in 1983, it provided the necessary capital for remarkable modernization.
The vineyard covers 117 hectares. The wines age in oak barrels for 21 months, with 60% new barrels. The effort continues—precise vineyard management and vinification of individual plots give rise each year to elegant and powerful wines with long aging potential.
