Chateau Lagrezette Seigneur de Grezette Malbec

The history of Château Lagrézette goes back to the 12th century. Originally a Medieval fortress occupied the property and it was not until the 15th century when the Château was built over that original foundation and the Malbec grape was cultivated. The property prospered for centuries but like so many others, fell to the Phylloxera epidemic. Abandoned in the 1930s, it wasn't until 1980 when it was rediscovered by current proprietor Alain Dominique Perrin who began a decade long labor of love to restore the property and its vineyards. Bringing in consulting oenologist Michel Rolland, the property has achieved new heights of accolades making some of the regions most profound Malbec based wines.
