Château Lagrange
Les Fiefs de Lagrange St. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend
St. Julien, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Very fresh nose right out of the bottle with red fruits, wood and chocolate notes.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with cherries, currants, light wood, spices, coffee, earth, dark chocolates, tobacco leaf, herbs, peppercorn, licorice and black tea.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.
This 10 year old Cabernet Sauvignon based blend is drinking beautifully now. Elegant and rich. Fruit forward and complex.
This Second Wine from this 3rd growth winery is delicious. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Soft, spicy and entertaining.
Feels young, and will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.
Needs a couple of hours to open up properly, but good right out of the bottle too.
A blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 41% Merlot and 4% Petit Verdot. Aged for 13 months in (20% new) French Oak barrels.
13% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$40.

Deep Ruby red with aromas of red fruits with cedar spice aromas. On the palate flavors of blackberry and cherry with some cacao and licorice notes, adding mineral tones. Fine tannins, medium finish, good balance with fruit, ending with smoky character, drink now, no real benefit from long-term aging.

I tried this second wine from Lagrange for the second time recently. Juicy and giving, plum and leather . Sage on the finish. Very nice indeed but I’d rather wait a while before my next bottle.

This was a decent table wine. Not great for the price point in US.

Very earthy and what I consider tart on the finish.
