Château Lagrézette 2004

Steeped in heritage, Château Lagrézette is set among some of the oldest vineyards in France. The impressive estate was built in the 15th Century on the foundations of a 12th century fortified house. Current owner, diamond-magnate Alain Dominique Perrin bought the property 25 years ago and has invested great time and energy ( …and money!) to restoring the property to its former winemaking glory.

Assisted by renowned wine consultant Michel Rolland, Alain-Dominique produces incredibly concentrated wines of magnificent complexity. This dense and silken red is made from 100% Malbec - a variety first planted here more than 500 years ago! Long-lived and powerful, Château Lagrézette has received high praise in the press - notably from Robert Parker and Hugh Johnson.

"Purple-stained dark red. By no means an old fashioned 'black' Cahors, mulberry and blackberry - scented, grainy and almost soft, but with gently abrasive tannins, scrubbing the palate without a bite. Beautifully-made wine, carrying its aromas all the way to a long finish." Hugh Johnson
