Ch\u00e2teau Lagrange is a wine estate located in the Saint-Julien appellation, one of the most prestigious appellations in the M\u00e9doc, in the Bordeaux wine region of France. Its history goes back several centuries. The first traces of a vineyard at Lagrange date back to the Middle Ages. In the 17th century, the estate belonged to the de Gorce noble family of Saint-Julien. The ch\u00e2teau was built during this period, and the estate was extended through the acquisition of additional plots. In 1824, the ch\u00e2teau was bought by the Baron de Brane, owner of the prestigious Ch\u00e2teau Brane-Cantenac, also in Saint-Julien. Baron de Brane invested heavily to modernise the facilities and improve the quality of the wines produced at Lagrange. In 1842, the ch\u00e2teau was sold to the Cendoya family, of Basque origin. They continued to modernise and improve the estate. The vineyard was extended and restructured, and the buildings were renovated.<\/p>\n
In 1983, the ch\u00e2teau was acquired by the Japanese company Suntory, becoming the first French wine estate to be bought by a foreign company. Suntory invested heavily in the estate, modernising the equipment and renewing the vines. They also hired oenologist Marcel Ducasse to oversee the vinification process. In 2005, Suntory sold Ch\u00e2teau Lagrange to the French spirits company La Maison les Domaines Delon, owned by the Delon family. The Delon family also owns Ch\u00e2teau L\u00e9oville-Las Cases, another Saint-Julien Grand Cru Class\u00e9. This acquisition enabled synergy between the two estates and more harmonious management of the vineyards. Since then, the Delon family has continued to manage Ch\u00e2teau Lagrange successfully. The vineyard covers around 118 hectares and is planted mainly with traditional Bordeaux grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Ch\u00e2teau Lagrange produces wines renowned for their power, elegance and ability to age well.<\/p>\n
Today, Ch\u00e2teau Lagrange is classified as a third growth in the official Bordeaux wine classification of 1855, testifying to its quality and reputation within the Saint-Julien appellation.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
