Chateau Lagrange (Second Wine) - Les Fiefs de Lagrange - Saint-Julien - 1996 | French Red Wine

The second wine of Château Lagrange was first produced in 1985. Sourced from 30 years old vines, it receives the same care as the Grand Vin, with a search for maturity and concentration in the vineyard, a plot vinification and ageing adapted to its tannic structure.

VINEYARD AND WINEMAKING:
The domain covers 182 hectares, of which 110 hectares are planted with 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot and 5% of Petit Verdot. There is an additional 7.5 hectares planted with white grapes; Sauvignon Blanc (60%), Sauvignon Gris (20%) and Sémillon (20%). Wines are vinified plot by plot and blend only a few months after harvest, to achieve a better harmonisation of the tannins and plot origins. They age for 21 months in French oak barrels, 60% of which is new.
