Saint-Julien wine from Bordeaux

The Bordeaux wine region is incredibly important for viticulture in general. Thanks to the efforts made here in previous centuries, we can now enjoy wine all over the world. It was Bordeaux wines that first introduced wine to the "ordinary" public, before wine became exclusive to the nobility. Château Lagrange also has a noble history. It was the royal house of Lagrange de Monteil that merged with the Pellacahus winery. This made them one of the most important wineries in Saint-Julien in the 17th century.
