Chateau Lagrange 2017

Product description

Grapes have been grown at Chateau Lagrange, St.-Julien, for over 600 years. Third Growth in the Classification of 1855, its vineyard stretches over two Gunzian gravel slopes where the highest point of Saint-Julien thrones on the beautiful estate. An uncompromising quest for excellence, such is the philosophy there. For several decades now the exceptional terroir has inspired a unique approach where precision and innovation are paramount.

94 Points - Wine Enthusiast

Balanced and stylish, this wine conveys the elegant side of Saint-Julien. With some firmness, the wine has a fine future, bringing out tannins to balance the blackberry fruits. 

93 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Lagrange strides confidently out of the glass with notes of warm blackberries, black cherry compote and black currant jelly plus nuances of Indian spices, garrigue and lilacs. Medium-bodied, the palate is elegantly played with plush tannins and an impressive intensity of crunchy black fruits, finishing with great length and plenty of depth.

92+ Points - James Suckling

A 2017 with serious depth of fruit and firm tannins. Solid center palate. Fresh and long finish. 

92 Points - Wine Spectator

A juicy, forward style, featuring blackberry, blueberry and black currant notes, mixed with dashes of cocoa, singed cedar and sweet tobacco.
