The “Collection Remarkable” Brings Together the Best of Two Historic and Closely Related Skills: Cooperage and Oenology.
November 9, 2021 – Wine & Spirit, Château Lagrange “Collection Remarkable”
The Collection Remarkable brings together two ancestral savoir-faire—cooperage and oenology—united by nature’s rhythm and human expertise. From the terroir to the craftsmanship of aging, Château Lagrange presents an exceptional offering: six vintages matured in barrels crafted from rare, three-hundred-year-old oak trees.
A Marriage of Time-Honored Traditions
Much like wine, the barrels that shape its evolution are deeply influenced by their origins. The grain of the oak, the soil in which it stood, and centuries of careful forestry management all contribute to the essence of these extraordinary casks. Selected from sustainably managed plots by the ONF (National Forestry Office), these trees trace their lineage to the vision of Louis XIV and his Minister Colbert, who established French-style forestry in 1669.
Each barrel, numbered and bearing the name of its original oak, embodies over three centuries of history. Their exceptionally fine grain imparts a silky texture to the wine’s tannins, enhancing its structure and longevity. The result is a wine of remarkable purity, where fruit remains at the forefront, framed by depth, intensity, and an elegance built to endure.
A Collector’s Edition Honoring Legacy
The Collection Remarkable is presented in a limited-edition solid wood case, with only 250 sets available. Designed as a tribute to the ancient trees from which it originates, the case features sculpted contours reminiscent of Château Lagrange’s rolling Graves hillsides. Inside, each vintage’s year and the name of the oak that shaped its aging are inscribed into the wood, a final homage to this extraordinary union.
Distinguished by an elegant black and gold label, these bottles stand apart from Château Lagrange’s classic vintages, marking their singularity.
Château Lagrange: A Legacy of Excellence
An emblem of the Saint-Julien appellation, Château Lagrange’s roots stretch back to the Gallo-Roman era. The estate flourished under the Templar Order before reaching its golden age in the 18th century. Recognized as a Troisième Grand Cru Classé in the historic 1855 classification, it continues to honor its rich heritage. Acquired in 1983 by the Japanese group Suntory under Keizo Saji’s leadership, Château Lagrange underwent a transformation, reaffirming its place among the finest wines of the Médoc.
💰 Price: The Collection Remarkable box is available in an exclusive run of 250 sets, priced at approximately 900 euros.
