Reseña profesional
Château Lagrange – Pomerol (sometimes called Lagrange à Pomerol) is an estate on the Bordeaux Right Bank. It is known for its rich, powerful red wine made mainly from the Merlot grape variety. Since 1953, Lagrange has been owned by Jean-Pierre Moueix Vins.
The estate consists of 8.5 hectares (21 acres) of vineyards dispersed across several parcels on the Pomerol plateau. These are mostly found near the church of Saint-Jean, and near Château Le Gay where the soils are rich in gravel over a deep clay subsoil. Most of these vineyards are planted to Merlot, although Cabernet Franc makes up five percent of plantings.
Lagrange does not have its own winery, and the wines are made at Château Trotanoy. The grapes are sorted using hi-tech laser sorting tables, and the grapes are fermented mostly in concrete vats with some stainless steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation takes place in tank before the must is sent to the basket presses. The wine is aged in small oak barrels for 18-24 months with around one quarter new wood.
