HISTORY
Historically, a large number of Chateaux in the Medoc used to produce white wine for their own consumption or receptions. Château Lagrange was part of them until the beginning of the sixties. The tradition was then revived, and from the 1996 vintage, a dry white wine (AOC Bordeaux) is produced by the estate, under the name "Les Arums de Lagrange".

TERROIR
Covering an area of 11 hectares located in the communes of Cussac Fort Médoc and SaintLaurent Médoc, this vineyard of white vines is located on two distinct soils of gravelly sand and limestone clays. The blend is oriented to produce a wine elegant and delicate, well proportioned body without excessive acidity.

THE VINTAGE
For the second year, the 29th of August announces the official start of the harvest's white grapes at Château Lagrange. This morning, our teams were smiling with the picking of the Sauvignon Gris. After a summer with low rainfall and high average temperatures, last week's high temperatures enabled the fruit to ripen very uniformly of the fruit and achieve excellent concentration of the berries. The arrival of cool nights means that the necessary freshness has been preserved. The first juices are very aromatic, with notes of grapefruit and lemon. The 2023 whites wines are shaping up to be anthology wines at Château Lagrange!

TASTING NOTE
Delicacy is the key word for this 2023 vintage. The nose is complex, revealing notes of pineapple, peach, pear and a delicate touch of vanilla. The 15% Semillon in the blend gives this wine a round, harmonious and particularly expressive mouthfeel. Les Arums 2023 will surprise you with its freshness and balance.
