Second wine of the house, vines planted on gravel soils for the Cabernet Sauvignon and clay for the Merlot. As with the first wine, the cuvées from this estate are treated with the utmost care. Produced at Château Lagrange since 1983, Les Fiefs de Lagrange is the second wine from the estate known for its Saint-Julien Grand Cru Classé 1855. Les Fiefs is a subtle blend of Merlot (clay soil), Cabernet Sauvignon (fine gravel terroir) and Petit Verdot (clay-limestone soil). The wine has an intensely dark red color. On the nose, delicate aromas of red and black fruit (blackcurrant, cherry, raspberry), followed by a hint of spice. Smooth and fresh, the palate is well-balanced.
"A very fine, delicate second wine with a long, fresh finish and silky tannins."
Appearance
