The vineyard of Lagrange Red Beauty Winery is located in the Pessac area on the southwestern border of Bordeaux, very close to the famous Chateau Haut-Brion.The current vineyard area of Ligea Rouge Winery is 4.7 hectares, with 55% of the land used for cultivating Merlot grapes, 30% for Cabernet Franc grapes, and 15% for Cabernet Sauvignon grapes.
"This is a slight upgrade for this wine; it seems to be approaching full maturity, but there is no risk of losing fruitiness or declining for at least the next 10 years." It is one of the most elegant wines of the vintage, with red and blue fruits, the ethereal scent of spring flowers, and flavors of bay leaf and graphite, while the aromas of unsmoked cigar tobacco and plum also appear in the extremely complex bouquet and palate. This wine has a medium body, by no means a heavyweight, but it is a wine with excellent balance, purity, symmetry, and style."
Grape variety:
40% Cabernet Franc, 55% Merlot & 5% Cabernet Sauvignon
