Third-growth Lagrange is not one of the head-turning St
Julien properties, but it makes solid, fairly serious wines that offer
plenty of structure and concentration. These are wines for the
cellar.
Les Fiefs de Lagrange 2000 St Julien
Lovely colour. Rich, ripe nose leads to a structured, dense palate
that’s chewy and savoury. Quite rich with firm tannins. Needs time.
Very good+ 87/100
Château Lagrange 2002 St Julien (barrel sample)
Dense firm, ripe fruit here with a chocolatey edge. Firm and
concentrated with sweet fruit. Promising. 90+/100
Château Lagrange 2000 St Julien
Concentrated, dense, rich and spicy on the nose. The palate is
chewy, savoury and tannic with rich ripe fruit. The tannins hold the
fruit in an iron grip at present but this is a serious effort with
considerable promise. Very good/excellent 94+/100
Château Lagrange 1995 St Julien
Full ripe nose with sweet, herby-edged fruit. Dense, firm palate
is spicy and savoury with firm tannins. Still needs time. Very
good/excellent 90/100
