Description:
Château Lagrange, a prestigious estate in the Saint-Julien appellation, is a benchmark in the world of Bordeaux wines. Its vineyards, planted on gravelly soils, produce red wines. The blend, dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, gives the wines an elegant structure, silky tannins, and aromas of ripe fruit, spice, and cedar. Château Lagrange embodies the perfect balance between tradition and modernity, with winemaking techniques that respect the terroir. Each bottle is an invitation to discover the richness and complexity of Saint-Julien wines, a true delight for lovers of fine wines.
This structured but also luscious wine is rich in fruit and tannins. A dense texture gives concentration, boosted by ripe blackberry fruits. The wine is still young and exuberantly full bodied, so wait to drink this second wine of Château Lagrange from 2020.
92/100 Points - James Suckling
"Dark fruits with a spicy character and licorice, dark chocolate and black olives. Some wet earth, too. Medium-bodied, polished and textured with fine-grained tannins and a juicy fruit core underneath. Flavourful and attractive with a creamy finish. Drink or hold."
92/100 Points - Yves Beck
"Fiefs de Lagrange perfectly embodies what one expects from a second wine: it should please and make you want to taste the first! The fruit brightness of the bouquet invites you to taste the wine, so pleasant it is. The juicy, mouth-watering character highlights the freshness of Fiefs de Lagrange. It can be enjoyed from a very young age. A flavourful and delightful wine!"
Tasting Notes:
The 2020 Les Fiefs de Lagrange offers an attractive bouquet with blackberry, wild strawberry and light orange blossom scents, a pretty set of aromas, nicely defined if not as intense as the grand vin. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, a fine line of acidity, crisp and fresh with a pleasing light graphite seam toward the finish.
