18 Rene Gabriel
Tiefes Purpur, satt in der Mitte, Granatschimmer am Rand. Delikat fülliges Bouquet, rahmige Noten und feiner Brombeeren- und Zederntouch. Im Gaumen genau so wie man sich einen grossen Lagrange-Jahrgang vorstellt; delikat, fein und wunderschön harmonisch. Etwas für Fans von beschwingten St. Juliens. warten (2016 - 2033)

This is very reserved right now but shows impressive blueberry and blackberry character. It’s full- bodied, with a super density of fruit and ripe tannins.Stunning now.
91 Wine Spectator
This has a solid core of juicy plum, red currant and blackberry fruit that sits in reserve, while mouthwatering briar and toasty spice notes move along the edges. Grippy and focused through the finish, with well-embedded acidity. Best from 2013 through 2024. 22,500 cases made. –JM

90 Robert Parker
Tightly knit, oaky and rich, with formidable concentration, but broodingly backward and not showing the charm and concentration of the top wines of St.-Julien, this 2009 from Lagrange is still an outstanding effort that has length, richness and character. It should be cellared for a good 5-6 years and then consumed over the following 25 years.
Producer
Château Lagrange
Château Lagrange is a sizable estate even by Médoc standards, with close to 120 uninterrupted hectares of vines spread across the Saint-Julien appellation. The Japanese-owned Suntory firm purchased the property in 1983, with major investments made in both the vineyards and the winery, the group brought Lagrange’s quality to new heights. For many years the château was in the hands of Marcel Ducasse and Kenji Suzuta, today however, a new tandem, Matthieu Bordes and Keiichi Shiina have taken the reins. Perpetuating Lagrange’s pursuit of excellence, the duo now crafts rich and concentrated wines with well-rounded tannins that inevitably defend their 3ème Grand Cru Classé status. Eco-friendly farming methods and handpicked harvesting are paired with state-of-the-art vinification facilities, which include temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, new French oak barriques, and traditional fining techniques. The resulting wine is a highly extracted, tightly knit oaked blend made with endearing finesse and freshness that aids to its approachable style. The Grand Vin Lagrange is a model Saint-Julien, its signature style even for leading Bordeaux properties is difficult to emulate.
