For many years, Château Lagrange struggled to meet the expectations of its classification. That changed in 1983, when the Japanese Suntory Group acquired the property and launched a transformative investment and renovation programme.
Both the vineyards and winery were overhauled. The estate now boasts one of the most advanced cuviers in Bordeaux, with 56 temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats tailored to vinify individual parcels. The vast, meticulously maintained barrique chais houses wines under ideal ageing conditions.
Today, Château Lagrange is a model of modern Bordeaux excellence—combining technological innovation with respect for tradition. The wines are precise, polished, and classically St Julien in style: structured, balanced, and built to age.
