Lagrange was awarded the rank of Third Classified Growth in the official 1855 classification. The estate became the meeting place of High Society, with sumptuous receptions. Artists were also frequently invited, drawing inspiration from the impressive landscapes.
Darker years were to follow: the phylloxera crisis, World Wars, fires, various vine diseases, economic and financial crises…Lagrange did not come out unscathed. In 1983 Keizo Saji, son of the founder of Suntory, bought the property from the Cendoya family, who had owned it since 1925.
The objective is to restore this Grand Cru Classé to its former glory. Their uncompromising vision was clear, and their sights were set on excellence. Over the first ten years the team undertook the ambitious project of renovating the estate – restructuring the vineyard to create more precise plots and adopting a strategy of sustainable development from the mid-nineties onwards. The buildings were entirely renovated, both the cellars and the Château, which underwent a magnificent refurbishment that skilfully mixed French style and Asian artwork. Through great passion, hard work, and skill, little by little the prestigious image of Château Lagrange was restored.
