Château Lagarde Prestige 2020

From 30-year-old vines on clay-limestone soils in the rolling hills overlooking the Gironde Estuary, Prestige 2020 is a hand-harvested blend of 70% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, and 15% Malbec. Aged 18 to 20 months in oak barrels, it is a step up in depth and complexity from the Excellence, with only 2,000 bottles produced.
