Robert Parker Wine Advocate
The 2023 Lagrange has turned out very well in bottle, opening in the glass with notes of cherries, mulberries and violets, framed by nicely integrated new oak. Medium- to full-bodied, rich and layered, with a charming core of fruit, powdery tannins and lively acids, this is a strong effort from this Saint-Julien property.
When Matthieu Bordes arrived at Château Lagrange in 2006, he had the good fortune to take over a vineyard—fully 118 hectares of it—that had been extensively replanted in the 1980s and was just arriving at maturity. Since Suntory acquired this estate in 1983, no expense has been spared, nor has any selection been considered too severe. As the fruits of that investment over the years met Bordes's talents, the results have been exceptional.
Jeb Dunnuck
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.
James Suckling
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.
Druvor
86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot & 2% Petit Verdot
