It is the second wine of Château Lagrange, a Troisième Grand Cru Classé (Third Growth) estate. Created in 1983, the wine's production aims to increase the quality of the \u003cem\u003eGrand Vin\u003c\/em\u003e (first wine) through a more drastic selection of grapes. The wine is vinified from vines that are already 30 years old on average.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWine Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine has a deep ruby with purple highlights or a dark and purple colour.

Other aromas include cassis, ripe plum, black cherry, cedar, graphite, and a touch of menthol. The varietal composition is a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 41% Merlot, and 4% Petit Verdot. It is a medium-bodied wine. The palate is lively and fresh, with crisp acidity and a quite tensile mouthfeel. Flavours include blackcurrant, blackberry, and cherry, with notes of spice and tobacco. Stylistically, it is a vibrant, well balanced wine, showcasing polished, dense fruit character with appealing purity and freshness. The wine is matured for 13 months in barrels, 20% of which are new oak. The finish is long, with fruit, spice, and mineral lift. The ABV is 13.5%. The optimal drinking window is now to 2030, or 2021 to 2035. The wine is produced under sustainable practices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAccolades\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJames Suckling - 93 points\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDecanter - 93 points\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Wine Independent (Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW) - 91 points\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVinous (Neal Martin) - 91 points\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWine Enthusiast - 90 points\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wine is ideal with roast lamb with rosemary, \u003cem\u003eentrecôte bordelaise\u003c\/em\u003e, or duck breast with cherries.
