Les Fiefs de Lagrange Saint-Julien

Les Fiefs is the so-called second wine of the "grand" Château Lagrange. This means that the wine is made from the grapes of slightly younger vines. The château borders another renowned estate in Saint-Julien, namely Gruaud Larose. In 1983, the château was acquired by the Japanese Suntory Group, which had the express intention of producing top-quality wines there. A significant amount of money was invested in renovating the château and its production facilities, cellars, and vineyards. In a relatively short time, they managed to completely turn things around and produce wines of astonishingly good quality. Today, Lagrange wines are among the best in the region. Wines from Saint-Julien are known for being more approachable and gentler within the Haut-Médoc. However, they can also age very well. Les Fiefs Lagrange is dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, which gives the wine power and structure. The Merlot provides fruitiness and meatiness, and a small percentage of Petit Verdot gives the wine elegance, smoothness and typicity.
