Wine Description
Noblesse de Lagrange is vinified from vines that are already 30 years old on average, half of which are Cabernet Sauvignon, and aged for thirteen months in barrels which are 20% new. It is characterized by supple tannins and offers substantial ageing potential. With a very pure elegance from the beginning, it will gain in depth and intensity over the years, its notes of red fruits enhanced with spices evolving just like its texture with utmost finesse.
