Les Fiefs de Lagrange: Saint-Julien’s Benchmark Second Wine

From the historic vineyards of Château Lagrange, a 3ème Cru Classé, ‘Les Fiefs de Lagrange’ is the estate’s highly-regarded Second Wine. It represents the quintessential style of Saint-Julien: a perfect balance of power and elegance, made to be enjoyed while the Grand Vin matures in the cellar.

Cultivated on the appellation’s superb gravelly soils, this wine benefits from meticulous, plot-by-plot vinification. It’s a classic, Cabernet-dominant Médoc blend that offers complexity, velvety tannins, and a remarkable freshness that is consistently praised by critics.

Tasting Profile

• Appearance: A beautiful, deep crimson hue.
• Bouquet: Inviting and aromatic, featuring a core of crunchy blackcurrant and blackberry, complemented by savoury graphite, subtle vanilla, and fine spice from its oak aging.
• Taste: Structured yet supple, the palate is medium-bodied with an impressive density. The tannins are fine-grained and polished, leading to a clean, persistent finish that retains a lovely, vibrant freshness. Truly a well-crafted Bordeaux.

Food Pairing & Serving

This wine is a superb match for a traditional Sunday Roast or a sophisticated dinner party. Serve between 16°C and 18°C. Decant for one hour to allow the wine to breathe and soften its youthful structure.
