2023 Château Lagrange Saint-Julien Grand Cru Classé

EN PRIMEUR DISCOUNT VALID UNTIL 31/12/2025 - DELIVERY SPRING 2026

Château Lagrange is one of the most prominent Grand Cru Classé wineries from Saint-Julien. Located entirely within the Saint-Julien appellation, the vineyard extends in a single block over two north-south rises of Gunzian gravel 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.

This Medoc is colored deep garnet purple in the glass. On the nose the Lagrange opens a bit closed, but as the wine rolls in the glass, slowly revealing cedar notes of a cigar box, tar, pencil shavings, camphorsuckle and fragrant earthy notes with plums, cherries plus a hint of yeast extract are released. In the mouth, full bodied, full of black fruit and earthy accents, it has (still) firm tannins and good freshness, ending with a persistent mineral note.

Wine Advocate 93-95/100 : “ A blend of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon and 16% Merlot, the 2023 Lagrange offers up aromas of dark berries, plums and cherries mingled with hints of pencil shavings and violets. Medium to full-bodied, layered and fleshy, with good depth, supple tannins and a suave, vibrant profile, it's attractively seamless and complete ”.
