R106205 - 2018 Cadran de Grezette BASF Exklusiv (12 Bottles)

In the 15th century, Adhémar de Massaut built a château on the ruins of an ancient fortified house. Located on a stratified slope ("grèze" in French) overlooking the Lot river, the château was naturally named Château Lagrézette. Its imposing style blends traditional medieval architecture with elegant Renaissance ornamentation.
Almost forgotten by the 1930s and hidden by a coat of wild vines, the château was rediscovered by Alain Dominique Perrin in 1979. It was love at first sight. Purchasing the property a year later, he set about restoring the château and its gardens. A perfectionist, the restoration project was to last twelve years, but extended well beyond that time. Spanning 25 years, three teams of architects working with specialists in historic monuments, sculptors and craftsmen, brought his dream château to life.
His love for the region and for wines that symbolize the art of living, culture and tradition, has helped him to develop the powerful, generous, elegant and refined vintages of Château Lagrézette, whose quality is universally appreciated in France and abroad. 
The wine is a typical Malbec, deep in color and poweful on the palate. The 2016 is the first BASF Exklusiv vintage from Château Lagrezette. 2017 again a fantastic vintage and responsible for a balanced and concetrated wine is.
