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 | "Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Lagrange explodes from the glass with bombastic notes of crème de cassis, chocolate-covered cherries and baked red and black plums with suggestions of rose oil, cedar chest, pencil lead and hoisin. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has fantastic vibrancy for the ripeness, packed with juicy black fruits and compelling tension with a finely grained texture to support, finishing on a lingering mineral note. Nicely done!" - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "Extremely perfumed with currant and blackberry aromas, as well as flowers. It medium-to full-bodied with firm, creamy tannins that frame some pretty, elegant fruit for the vintage. Try after 2024." - James Suckling "Tasted blind. Correct and neat. Ripe enough with quite a tannic charge. Ticks the boxes. 14.5%. Drink 2027 – 2043" - Jancis Robinson "The 2018 Lagrange is charming and gracious. Sweet, lifted aromatics and mid-weight structure give the 2018 tons of immediacy. Bright red berries, blood orange, mint, spice, rose petal and cedar build with time in the glass. Polished, silky tannins grace the beautifully persistent finish. Best of all, the 2018 will be ready to go with only minimal cellaring." - Vinous "Rock solid Cab here, with mouthwatering black currant and blackberry fruit flavors laced with a graphite edge and innervated with bramble, tobacco, bay and violet notes through the finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Best from 2023 through 2035." - Wine Spectator "This smoky wine still shows some wood aging flavors. Structure comes from this wood aging as well as the rich blackberry-fruit tannins and concentration. The succulent Cabernet Sauvignon is ripe and full. It needs time, so drink from 2026." - Wine Enthusiast "Beautiful reflections through the body of this wine, with fresh acidity, and an attractive sense of uplift through the palate, although the actual fruit is a little subdued right now, which as it opens shows damson and bilberry. There is real tannic frame, and build-up on the finish as you see just how concentrated these dark fruits are. Drinking Window 2026 - 2044." - Decanter |
