Merchant's description

Château Lagrange is a highly esteemed wine estate situated in the Saint-Julien appellation of the Haut-Médoc. Classified as a Third Growth in the historic 1855 Classification of the Médoc and Graves, the estate`s Grand Vin consistently earns accolades and critical acclaim. Now in full maturity, the 1981 vintage presents a medium body, showcasing black berry and black cherry fruits that evolve into leather, tobacco, and hints of black tea. The finish delights with tangy acidity, rounding off this elegant Bordeaux.
