Château Lagrange (Saint-Julien)

The winery is located to the west of the municipality of Saint-Julien in the area of the same name in the Médoc (Bordeaux). It should not be confused with the Château Lagrange of the same name in Pomerol. It is believed that the first vineyards were planted at the beginning of the 18th century by Baron Joseph de Brane, who also owned Château Mouton-Rothschild (then Château Mouton) at the time. In 1787, Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), the US ambassador to France at the time, gave the estate third-class status, and in 1796 it was acquired by the merchant Jean-Valère Cabarrus (1758-1829) and extended to 300 hectares. After a chequered history with numerous changes of ownership, it was sold to the Japanese distillery and wine trading multinational Suntory in 1983. Only 157 hectares were left, of which only 56 were planted.

Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
