Good to know: A historical icon in Bordeaux's Saint Julien sub region, there is ample evidence that prove that grapes have been planted in the vineyards of Chateau Lagrange as early as the middle ages. In recent history, the estate has been classified as a Third Growth and is renowned mainly for the masculinity and aging potential of their wines.

Today, the estate produces several noteworthy wines under their portfolio. Their flagship which is a Cabernet Sauvignon dominant blend, aged for at least 2 years is new French oak barrels. Their second wine, Les Fiefs de Lagrange (first produced in 1985), also a Cabernet Sauvignon dominant blend, aged for at least 1 year in oak. Both of are known as the primary wines of the estate. Apart from these 2, Chateau Lagrange also produces Le Haut-Médoc de Lagrange which is a more even blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot tending to be a slightly softer wine compared to their primary wines. Lastly, they produce a white wine called Les Arums de Lagrange, a Sauvignon Blanc dominant blend fermented in French oak barrels, providing a somewhat spicier and more rounded style of Bordeaux white.
