The history of château Lagrange dates back to the Middle Ages when the Templars joined together two domains : The « maison noble de Lagrange de Monteil » and the « Tenure of Pellecalhus » (meaning « peeled stone »). At the time, Lagrange became the largest wine producing estate in the Médoc. In 1855, Lagrange ranked among Third Classified Growths. This is thanks to the work of Count Duchâtel, owner from 1842 to 1874.The Japanese group, Suntory, acquired the domain when the purchase was signed by the company president, Mr Keizo Saji, in1983. Marcel Ducasse was then recruited along with Kenji Suzuta to undertake the complete restructuring of the vineyard and a spectacular renovation of the whole estate. This first step was to mark the rebirth of château Lagrange. After twenty years of dedicated work, as well as human and technical investments, Lagrange had once again found recognition amidst its peers and had achieved a certain sense of fulfilment. Today a new tandem, Matthieu Bordes and Keiichi Shiina, have taken over this quest for excellence. A second phase of investments began with the 2008 vintage, offering Lagrange the technical means to follow its ambitions: The production of refined, elegant and expressive wines, in the best Saint-Julien style. There has also been an evolution of production methods towards a greater awareness of the environment and a reduction of ecological impact on the property.
