Organic French Wine Scores 92 Points

Organic French Wine Wins Gold Medal with 92 Points at Los Angeles International Wine Competition

Our Organic French Wine from Vignobles Raymond, Château de Lagarde Grand Millésime, recently took home a Gold Medal and 92 points at the 2018 Los Angeles International Wine Competition.

Organic French wine

Organic French Wine Château de Lagarde Grand Millésime is grown and produced by Vignobles Raymond in Saint Laurent du Bois, Entre-Deux-Mers by winemaker Lionel Raymond and cellar master Elodie Gilles. The vineyard see a mild climate (due to the Maritime influence of the Atlantic Ocean), with lots of sunshine, and regular rain. The hillside situation and the clay-limestone soil, gravels offer the best conditions for the growth of the vines and the grapes. The wine is vinified in stainless steel thermo-regulated vats, then aged 18 months in 50% new 225 liter French oak barrels. The resulting wine is luscious and well-balanced. The robe is intense and deep purple. The nose offers concentrated black fruits with nice toasted notes, which are then relayed by sweet spicy notes (cinnamon, licorice) and orange peel. Generous, the balance between the wood and fruits is well measured.

About the Winemaker

Vignobles Raymond produces the highest quality AOC Bordeaux organic wines. Located in the Entre-Deux-Mers region, not far from the city of Bordeaux, their wines have grown in the villages of Saint-Laurent-du-Bois, Saint-Martial, and Saint-Felix de Conclude since medieval times. The Raymond family has a long history of growing wine, dating back to 1850. The family property of the domaine du Château de Lagarde has been built up over the years by successive generations. Today, the winery honors its heritage by using a special mixture of ancestral tradition and the most efficient modern technology. What makes the main difference in the wine produced by organic agriculture, is the word “respect”: respect of the soil, on which the vine is planted, respect of the vine, respect of the organic methods, and all of this for the respect of the environment and the respect of the consumer. Vignoble Raymond’s wines reflect a certain “savoir-faire,” speaking deeply to their heritage with a distinct taste of place that only organic wines can impart.
