Description
Château Lagrange is one of the leading Grand Cru Classé wine estates in Saint-Julien. The vineyard lies entirely within the Saint-Julien appellation and extends in a single block over two north-south rises of Gunzian gravel soil. Large and coarse in parts and finer in others, this gravel is combined with sand or iron-rich clay, depending on the plot. At 24 metres in altitude, the centre of the estate marks the highest point in Saint-Julien. The estate covers 182 hectares (450 acres), of which 118 hectares (292 acres) are under vine. Most plots have a drainage system.
In the glass this Medoc is deep garnet purple colored. In the nose the Lagrange opens a bit closed but then as the wine rolls in the glass slowly revealing cedar wood notes of a cigar box, tar, pencil shavings, camphorsuckle and fragrant earthy notes with plums, cherries plus a touch of yeast extract. In the mouth full bodied full of black fruit and earthy accents it has (still) firm tannins and a good freshness, ending with a persistent mineral note.
Wine Advocate 94-96+/100 : "The 2022 Lagrange is brilliant, ranking alongside the 2020, 2019 and 2016 as one of this over-performing estate's finest recent vintages. Revealing aromas of dark cherries, cassis, violets and pencil shavings, it's medium to full-bodied, velvety and layered, with a deep core of fruit, beautifully refined but youthfully assertive tannins and a long, mouthwatering finish..."

Wijnhuis
The Japanese group, Suntory, acquired the domain in 1983. Marcel Ducasse was then recruited together with Kenji Suzuta to carry out the complete restructuring of the vineyard and a spectacular renovation of the entire estate. This first step was to mark the rebirth of Chateau Lagrange. After twenty years of dedicated work, as well as human and technical investments, Lagrange is once again one of the top Grand Cru Classé , focusing over the last twenty years on the production of refined, elegant and expressive wines, in the best Saint-Julien style but also with production methods that substantially reduce the ecological impact.
Located entirely within the Saint-Julien appellation, the Lagrange vineyard stretches in a single block over two north-south rises of Gunzian gravelly soil. In parts large and coarse and in others finer, this gravel is combined with sand or iron-rich clay, depending on the plot. With a height of 24 meters, the center of the domain marks the highest point of Saint-Julien. The estate covers 182 hectares (450 acres), of which 118 hectares (292 acres) are under vines. Most plots have a drainage system.
