Producers Notes:
La Grange is a one unit property, where vineyards blend with meadows, forests, and ponds, forming a rich natural biotope where wildlife thrives. The development of wild animals and their predators enables us not to use insecticides and pesticides. We only use organic fertilizers. For the 2005 vintage, we bottled all 182,186 bottles in April 2007. One of the best, ever, for this property. Peak ripeness led to beautiful grapes, giving a high standard wine. This wine can be laid down, but also may be enjoyed now. Awarded a Gold Medal at the Concours Général Agricole de Paris with these laudatory comments: fruity, well balanced, ample: Beautiful wine! First Release October 22nd 2007
