Location
Chateau Haut Lagrange 2012 from Pessac-Léognan is a wine that presents a complex and intriguing profile. On the nose, it reveals profound aromas of dark fruits, such as blackberries and plums, intertwined with subtle smoky notes. The palate offers a beautiful attack with a very silky texture, showcasing the wine’s refined structure. The tannins are prominent, providing a firm backbone, while the freshness enhances the distinctive, pleasant aromas. Despite its austere character, the wine’s layers of tannins and structure make it a compelling choice for those who appreciate a more robust and less fruit-forward Bordeaux blend

2012 was a year marked by strong heatwaves, punctuated by intense rainy episodes. The hard work carried out by the château’s teams both in the vineyards and in the cellar resulted in a high-quality wine, following the latest harvest in the estate’s history.

Cabernet Sauvignon
World-renowned and well-travelled, cabernet sauvignon wines makes some of the world’s finest red wines, working either on its own, or blended with other varieties.
While many grape varieties are known for their friendly fruit aromas, cabernet sauvignon’s success as a fine wine lies in its subtleties: secondary, complex flavours that have the potential to develop deliciously in bottle over time. For this reason, cabernet is often seen as quite a ‘serious’ red wine designed for cellaring and keeping for many years. However, you can certainly find younger, fruitier styles to help you explore the flavours of this iconic grape.
Merlot
Merlot is characterised by its soft texture and easy, fruit-forward character ? think ripe plums, summer fruits and touches of vanilla and spice. Brilliantly versatile, it’s the grape behind lots of good-value anyday reds as well as some of the most expensive wines in the whole world. On its own, it produces juicy, soft, plump reds, but also plays an important role in blends, especially with cabernet sauvignon; here merlot’s friendly, fruity flavour counterbalances cabernet’s more obvious tannins and structure.
