2020 Château Lagrange, St Julien, Bordeaux

Description

Cabernet Sauvignon 74%, Merlot 24%, Petit Verdot 2%

Director Mathieu Bordes states that this is an historically small vintage; yields are 26hl/ha. Lagrange was one of the few estates whose harvest extended into early October; the wine shows a great deal of concentration, especially of tannin. Although you would not categorise the wine as “modern”, there is nonetheless a polish and succulence here that is very appealing. Up front, there is lots of creamy cassis fruit and a deliciously heady palate, almost of Chambord. This is very classy but well-built for the long term.

Saint-Julien

Saint-Julien

St Julien is the smallest of the ‘Big Four’ Médoc communes although, without any First Growths, it is recognised to be the most consistent of the main communes with many châteaux turning out impressive wines year after year. The wines can be judged as much by texture as flavour, and there is a sleek, wholesome character to the best. At their very finest they combine Margaux’s elegance and refinement with Pauillac’s power and substance.

Chateau Lagrange

Château Lagrange was for many years perceived as a tired, underperforming St Julien château that was unworthy of its 3ème Cru Classé status. In 1983 it was purchased by the Japanese Suntory Group which set about renovating the vineyards and the winery. Lagrange rose to become a model estate and even today few Bordeaux properties can match Lagrange, with its huge barrique chais and its state of the art cuvier with its 56 temperature-controlled, stainless steel cuvées.
