Chateau La Grange St Julien 2000

The colour is dense and deep, very purple. The very complex nose marries finesse and mature fruit without heaviness. In the mouth, this balance is very elegant, longer than thick, harmonious, with racy, lasting tannins. This is a long-keeping wine.

Product Details

Château Lagrange was known in the Middle Ages as the Noble House of Lagrange Montei. Records of the successive owners go back as far as 1631. In 1842, the ex-Home Secretary to King Louis-Philippe, Count Duchatel, left his mark on the property and the Médoc by introducing a drainage system in the vineyard. The Count brought the annual production up to 300 barrels. This was a golden age for Lagrange, with the famous 1855 classification awarding the property the title of Third Classified Growth.

Located entirely within the appellation of Saint-Julien, the vineyard stretches in a single block over two North-South rises of Gunzian gravelly soil. In parts large and coarse and in others finer, this gravel is combined with sand or iron-rich clay depending on the plots. With an altitude of 24 metres, the centre of the domain marks the highest point of Saint-Julien.

Grape Varieties : Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot.

This vintage owes its richness to the "great" Cabernets (76% of the blend). The color is dense and deep, very purple. The very complex nose marries finesse and mature fruit without heaviness. In the mouth, this balance is very elegant, longer than thick, harmonious, with racy, lasting tannins. This is a long-keeping wine.
