2020 Château Lagrange, Pomerol, Bordeaux
Ready - at best
The 8.5 hectares of vineyards are located on the famous Pomerol plateau next to the church, where the soil is gravel-rich - the vineyards have recently been replanted and now comprises of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc vines. The grapes are hand-harvested and then fermented in temperature-controlled concrete tanks. The wine is then aged in small oak barrels (30% new) for 18 months before being lightly fined and then bottled.
