LES ARUMS DE LAGRANGE
Historically, many of the Médoc’s châteaux produced a white wine mainly for their own consumption or for local receptions.
Château Lagrange belonged to this group until the early 60s. With the 1996 vintage, it was decided to revive the tradition and launch a dry white AOC Bordeaux wine called “Les Arums de Lagrange”.
Covering 11 hectares in the communes of Cussac Fort Médoc and Saint Laurent de Médoc, this vineyard of white vines is situated on two distinct terroirs of gravelly sand and calcareous clay, producing an elegant, delicate wine with well-proportioned body and no excessive acidity.
THE 2019 MILLESIME
Like 2018, 2019 will be remembered as a vintage of contrasts. A wet, cold spring followed by a hot, dry summer with record sunshine! These climatic conditions impacted berry weight and concentrated the grapes to the detriment of quantity. With a yield of just under 25 hl/ha, this was the smallest harvest ever recorded on the estate. Harvesting took place in glorious sunshine, but the nights remained cool.
Once again, the terroirs of Château Lagrange have been instrumental in maintaining the freshness needed to produce Arums de Lagrange.
