2022 Château Lagrange Saint-Julien Grand Cru Classé Magnum

Château Lagrange is one of the leading Grand Cru Classé wineries in Saint-Julien. The vineyard lies entirely within the Saint-Julien appellation and extends in a single block across two north-south slopes of Gunzian gravel. In parts, large and coarse, in others finer, this gravel is combined with sand or iron-rich clay, depending on the plot. At 24 meters above sea level, the center of the estate marks the highest point of 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 a deep garnet purple. The Lagrange opens slightly closed on the nose, but as the wine swirls in the glass, cedarwood notes of cigar box, tar, pencil shavings, camphorsuckle, and fragrant earthy notes of plum, cherry, and a hint of yeast extract slowly reveal themselves. On the palate, full-bodied and bursting with black fruit and earthy accents, it still has firm tannins and good freshness, finishing with a lingering mineral note. This is a 1.5-liter magnum—even more delicious, festive, and with a longer drinking window.

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..."
