This estate's origins lie in the Middle Ages, but become significant, vinously speaking, with the ownership of Baron de Brane in the 18th century. He also held Brane Cantenac and a property called Brane Mouton (later to be renamed Mouton Rothschild). Later it belonged to John Lewis Brown, owner of Cantenac Brown and the Graves property Château Brown. Then, ion 2842, the then owner installed drainage in the vineyard and the wine increased in quality significantly. Over time, almost half the vineyard was sold off (perhaps most significantly to St Julien neighbours Gloria and Ducru Beaucaillou). In 1983, Lagrange was sold to the Japanese Suntory organisation.

Tasting Notes
"The 2009 Lagrange has a very fine bouquet, one of the more complex offering from the appellation, with blackberry, loam, truffle and leather aromas. I love the cohesion here. The palate is very well balanced with plenty of freshness, a killer line of acidity and wonderful precision towards the finish. I have liked this Lagrange from day one and now at 10 years it remains perhaps the most underrated cru within Saint-Julien. This is possibly the best bottle that I have encountered." Neal Martin
