Entirely crafted from Merlot and matured for 18 months in 30% new barrels, the 2023 Lagrange (Pomerol) exhales aromas of spices and baked dark berries accented by oak and a subtle carnal nuance. Medium- to full-bodied, dense and structured, it is firm and compact, with good depth at the core, concluding with a pencil-shavings-inflected finish.

In bottle this is still a little subdued on the aromatics for the opening beats, good raspberry puree and sandalwood as it opens. Enjoyable, ready to go. 30% new oak for ageing. Harvest September 7 to 19. Single point upscore.

The Wine Palate

The 2023 Lagrange is deep garnet-purple in color. Scents of cranberry preserves, stewed red plums, and dried mulberries spring from the glass, followed by hints of tobacco, hoisin, and dusty soil. The medium-bodied palate delivers stewed red and black berry flavors, with a lively line of acidity and lightly chewy tannins, finishing on an exotic spice note. The blend is 84% Cabernet Sauvignon and 16% Merlot, with a pH of 3.47.

A serious and impeccably made wine, the 2023 Château Lagrange is cut from the same cloth as the Les Fiefs yet has more of everything. Pure crème de cassis, graphite, spicy wood, and assorted floral nuances all shine on the nose, and it's medium to full-bodied on the palate, with a layered, graceful mouthfeel and polished tannins. Based on 84% Cabernet Sauvignon and 16% Merlot and aged 21 months in 50% new barrels with the balance in second-fill oak, this is a classic, beautifully done Saint-Julien that will keep for 20-30 years. Tasted multiple times with consistent notes. Drink 2029-2056.

Tobacco, herbs, cedar, currants, blackberries, and a hint of spearmint fill the perfume. Not a showy vintage, more classic in style, with effort, the wine offers its cherry, and currant character. Refined and reserved, a few years of bottle age is warranted. The wine blends 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, and 2% Petit Verdot. Drink from 2029-2055.

The 2023 Lagrange is just as impressive as it was from barrel. Soaring aromatics meld into a core of brilliant red-toned fruit. This bright, sculpted Saint-Julien delivers on so many levels. In this tasting, it is exceptionally polished, vibrant and expressive.

The 2023 Lagrange was bottled at the end of June. It is understated on the nose, but it needs only two or three minutes before it reveals attractive blackberry, wild hedgerow, cedar wood and sous-bois scents. Very typical Saint-Julien style. The palate is well balanced with fine, chiselled tannins. Just the right amount of acidity keeps this on its toes, quite open and welcoming already, therefore I suspect that this will require only a couple of years in bottle before it's ready for action.

Very good, showing defined minerals and just a touch of sweet spices to the vibrant red and black cherries. Quite bright and precise, with fine, chalky tannins and a long but pristine finish. Such poise, transparency and purity of fruit. Tense, tactile and tightly knit. Certainly nothing heavy here. A blend of 84% cabernet sauvignon and 16% merlot. Drink or hold.

The 2023 Lagrange is bright, punchy and full of character. Red-toned fruit, blood orange, spice, menthol, licorice and rose petal lend exuberance and freshness to this mid-weight Saint-Julien. Readers will find a wine of total class and sophistication. In a word: terrific. Tasted two times.

Bon corps, texture sérieuse, sur le tabac blond et les épices douces, bon boisé, encore un peu réservé aromatiquement mais bien dans le caractère 2023.

Das Bouquet von Lagrange ist von guter Intensität und zeichnet sich durch seine Vielfalt und seinen einladenden Charakter aus! Wie ein Kind, das einem fruchtigen Sorbet gegenübersteht, ist es schwer, ihm zu widerstehen... (und warum eigentlich???). Schöne Harmonie zwischen holzigen Nuancen, dunklen Beeren und Mineralik. Der Wein offenbart sich auf lineare Weise, mit einem deutlichen Streben nach Präzision und Frische. Und vergessen wir nicht die Kraft, denn die ist durchaus vorhanden! Zwar wird sie eingepackt und kanalisiert, aber sie ist nicht weniger bedeutsam. Sie wird durch die Frische der Säure und den lieblichen Tannine ergänzt. Ein köstlicher Wein, der bereit ist, einige Zeit im Keller zu verbringen!

I was able to taste the 2023 Château Lagrange on two separate occasions, and it showed beautifully both times. Deep ruby/purple-hued with a gorgeous yet reserved perfume of cassis, graphite, violets, and spicy oak, it hits the palate with a medium to full-bodied, ultra-pure, seamless mouthfeel that carries flawlessly integrated tannins and acidity. It plays in the fresher, elegant style of the vintage yet has so much to love with its purity, balance, and elegance.

Black cherries, black currants, flowers, and mint blend perfectly in the nose, and on the medium-bodied, fresh, energetic, bright, chewy palate. Give this a few years in the bottle, and it is going to be a very good wine to drink over the next few decades. Starting with the 2016 vintage, Lagrange has been on a hot streak! The wine is produced from 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 16% Merlot. Drink from 2029-2055. 91-93 Pts.

This is very much in the character of Lagrange over the past few years, showing precision and confidence in its construction, finessed and elegant, with St Julien balance and reserved power. Will absolutely deliver for fans of classical Left Bank Bordeaux with its slate tannins, savoury Cabernet black and blue fruits, fresh leaf tea, tobacco, raspberry leaf, spiced sage and lusicous mouthwatering signoff. 51hl/ha yield.

The 2023 Lagrange contains no Petit Verdot this year. Matured in 60% new oak, the aromatics demand a bit of coaxing in the glass, eventually revealing blackberry and cedar aromas and just a touch of graphite, quite strict and focused. The palate is medium-bodied with very pliant tannins on the entry, ensuring that this will be an approachable Lagrange. Pure-fruited and gently grippy, there is admirable depth to this Saint-Julien, revealing just a hint of brine toward the saline finish. This is a "solid" wine, if perhaps without the flair of the 2022. It will require four or five years in bottle but should drink well for the next 20 years or more.

Dark ruby, deep core, purple reflections, subtle brightening on the rim. Delicately leafy and savoury blackberry fruit, black cherries, fresh orange zest, tobacco nuanc- es. Substantial and fruity texture, ripe plums, some nougat, spicy overall impression, shows length and certain ageing potential.

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.

This is tight but has creamy, round tannins and a juicy character. Blackberries, chocolate and spices on the medium-bodied palate. Chewy and polished.
