Over het wijnhuis | Château Lagrange, gevestigd in Saint-Julien, is een 3e Grand Cru Classé en één van de grootste huizen uit de classificatie. Zo’n oppervlakte, 118 hectare wijngaard, gaat meestal niet hand in hand met kwaliteit, maar daarin blijkt Château Lagrange een uitzondering. Veel daarvan is te danken aan het uitzonderlijke terroir en de vele investeringen van de huidige eigenaar, het Japanse Suntory, in de wijngaard en wijnmakerij. |

Awards | "The 2015 Lagrange is a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot and 8% Petit Verdot. Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2015 gives up fragrant notes of chocolate-covered cherries, cassis and blackberry pie with touches of violets, forest floor, truffles and cigar box. Medium-bodied with plenty of intense black fruit and firm, grainy tannins, it has a racy line and long, mineral-laced finish." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "Anyone who thinks that modern Bordeaux has become too soft or easy should taste this seriously tannic yet sleek and vibrant wine. So much drive and energy that the weak of heart should better stand back. Better from 2020 and has a couple of decades of ageing potential." - James Suckling "The 2015 Lagrange could perhaps benefit from a little more freshness and brightness on the nose, though it has a mineral drive that surfaces with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, a fine bead of acidity, moderate depth but very strict and showing slight attenuation toward the finish. It does quite deliver on the improved showing in bottle compared to barrel, although, like Gruaud Larose, I suspect this is just entering an awkward phase. Tasted blind at the Southwold 2015 Bordeaux tasting." - Vinous "A sleek, pure style, with violet and anise notes running in lockstep from the get-go, offering a beam of raspberry, blackberry and cassis flavors. Features a light tug of graphite through the finish, but this is relatively accessible already. Best from 2019 through 2028. 23,333 cases made." - Wine Spectator "One of the furthest west of the Saint-Julien estates, this property has been greatly improved with investment from Japanese owner Suntory. The wine from 2015 is dense and impressively concentrated, perfumed black-currant fruits working well with the crisp acidity and solid structure. Drink from 2025." - Wine Enthusiast |
