Château Lagrange – Saint-Julien – Red – 2017 – 6000 ml:

 

Château Lagrange: The Epitome of Saint-Julien Grandeur

Château Lagrange, a Third Growth in the 1855 Bordeaux Wine Official Classification, represents the pinnacle of the Saint-Julien appellation. Situated on the Médoc’s highest point, this Grand Vin is the result of a relentless pursuit of excellence, driven with Japanese precision since the Suntory group’s acquisition in 1983. It masterfully blends the heritage of an exceptional terroir with modern winemaking techniques, ensuring consistent, high-quality vintages year after year.

Tasting Notes (Varies by Vintage)

• **Color:** Deep, intense garnet, often with youthful purple reflections.
• **Nose:** Complex and elegant, it bursts with intense aromas of blackcurrant, black cherry, and cassis, evolving into classic notes of cedar, tobacco, cigar box, and licorice. A subtle violet note often speaks to the high-quality Cabernet Sauvignon.
• **Palate:** Powerful and structured, yet beautifully balanced by a refined, silky tannic framework. The core freshness is well-maintained, giving the wine exceptional length and the potential to age gracefully for decades.

Pairing & Service

This Grand Vin demands food of equal caliber. We recommend serving it at 61-64°F (16-18°C). A decanting of 2 to 3 hours is highly recommended for younger vintages to allow its full aromatic complexity to unfold. This is a wine built for contemplation and shared moments.
