Château Lagrange Saint-Julien 3ème Grand Cru Classé 2019 75 cl

Description

The exceptional wine from this 3rd Grand Cru Classé within the Saint-Julien region, Château Lagrange

is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot grapes, sourced from diverse soils primarily rich in silicates and gravel, layered over a foundation of clay and limestone.

Carefully hand-picked, the berries undergo fermentation in controlled-temperature tanks, a process lasting anywhere from 18 to 25 days. After meticulous selection, the finest batches are combined, followed by an aging period of approximately 20 months in oak barrels, with a significant portion using new wood, around 60%.

These wines skillfully harmonize elegance, finesse, depth, and a touch of robustness.

Designed for prolonged maturation, they may exhibit a certain austerity in their initial years. A few years of patient cellaring are thus necessary to soften their character and unveil the full expanse of their aromatic bouquet and texture. Enthusiasts will then relish in the intensity of their fruity undertones, coupled with the enduring aromatic presence.
