A slightly lighter, less powerful style of St.-Julien, but
also less oaky than previous vintages have tended to
be, the 2009 Lagrange offers attractive, fresh, red and
black currant notes, and an elegant as well as
corpulent attack and mid-palate. This wine does not
have the weight of the “big boys” of St.-Julien, but it
displays an endearing finesse, freshness, and purity. It
is by no means a wimpish, understated wine, but in the
context of the 2009 vintage, it is somewhat
overwhelmed by many of its neighbors. Enjoy it over
the next two decades. (Tasted two times.) Drink 2010-2030.
