France - South West - Château Lagrézette

Château de Lagrézette is a leading light in one of South West Frances most exciting AOC's - Cahors.

The Château can date its history back to the 15th century and even has documents relating to its harvest in 1503.

Over the centuries the property has changed hands numerous times.

In 1980 it was purchased by Alain Dominique Perrin, former head of Cartier. What followed was an intensive investment programme not only in the vineyards but also in the winery and the Château itself.

Lagrézette is now one of the main reasons that the wine world is reawakening its interest in Cahors.

This classic effort boasts a saturated blue/purple colour as well as gorgeous aromas of graphite, blueberry liqueur, espresso roast, liquorice, and spice box.

With great intensity, huge structure, massive concentration, and monster-sized but beautifully integrated tannin, this is a modern version of an ancient style of wine.
