THE PHILOSOPHY
VALUES UPHELD BY MAN
In the wines, our team is made up of thirty dedicated men and women, some of whose families have been attached to the property for generations. Their experience and skills ensure the grapes are accompanied through to perfect ripeness.
No less than four oenologists work in harmony with the viticultural team, and they also draw on the experience of a fifth when blending. They are at once complementary and free to air their own sentiments, and with respect and consideration for each other’s views they dedicate themselves each year to a common goal: that of uncompromising quality.
Alongside them, an R&D unit works on continuous improvement and anticipating climate change.
REVEALING EXPRESSION THROUGH PRECISION
The vineyard was very precisely mapped, and 103 different plots were defined, allowing for a truly made-to-measure approach to vineyard management and vinification to best express its character and potential.
Precision
– in grape variety and viticultural choices for each plot.
– during harvesting, with each plot being picked at optimum maturity, which is paramount for the quality of the future wine
– in the vat room where small vats allow for separate vinification of each plot to obtain the best from each one and offer more finely delineated choices at the moment of blending.
– in blending, to most faithfully express the history and character of each vintage.
– in bottling, undertaken exclusively on the estate when the wine is completely ready, not before, or after.
Selection
Strict selection for Château Lagrange’s Grand Vin that rarely exceeds 40% of the harvest, which leaves superb plots, and old vines, from which to make the second wine, Les Fiefs de Lagrange
Conscious of the unique nature of our terroir and the legacy we have received, we are very keen to share this heritage. We invite you through different experiences to discover our history, our terroir and our wines: introduce yourself to the alchemy of wine blending, enjoy a blind vertical tasting, discover the grape harvest from behind the scenes, taste our Grand Vin directly from the barrel. Join us at our private table for an exceptional gastronomic and oenological experience, thanks to carefully prepared food and wine pairings.
Our inexhaustible enthusiasm carries us all around the world, meeting wine lovers and offering them the opportunity to experience the luminous atmosphere of Chateau Lagrange wines despite being many miles away from the vineyard.
« It is a genuine pleasure for us to meet wine lovers and give them an unforgettable experience here on the estate or elsewhere »
Matthieu Bordes (General Manager)
