2023 Château Lagrange Saint-Julien Grand Cru Classé

Château Lagrange is one of the most prominent 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. On the nose, the Lagrange opens slightly closed, 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 a pleasant freshness, finishing with a lingering 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 ”.
