What to Expect

Malbec's origins as a blending grape and the core of the sometimes rustic wines of Cahors are quickly becoming forgotten as the grape becomes solidly associated with Argentina. A heat-loving variety of grape, it has always struggled to ripen in France. While still capable of producing a full-bodied rich wine, the tannins in these were formidable. In warmer climates the tannins are able to ripen fully, yielding rich, velvety wines packed with black spice notes and dark berry fruit.

Winemakers Notes

The Grand Vin won several Gold Medals in the Paris, Brussels and Macon wine fairs. It is also quoted in the most prestigious wine guides. Chateau Lagrezette benefits from a separate vinification for each parcel and each grape variety, and the different lots are assembled after 18 to 20 months' ageing in oak barrels. This Auxerrois and Merlot blend, which also comprises a small proportion of Tannat, is fined with egg whites or lightly filtered prior to bottling. A true vin de garde, Chateau Lagrezette will age gracefully over twenty-five years or so.
