94 points “So much drive and energy that the weak of heart should better stand back.” – James Suckling
93 points “It has a racy line and long mineral-laced finish.” – Wine Advocate
93 points “Deep rich taut and tightly drawn this is a big wine that demands attention.” – Decanter Magazine
92 points “Fresh aromatic and stylishly oaked.” – Tim Atkin
2015 was an outstanding vintage in Saint-Julien making this a most intriguing prospect. Vim and vigour are the order of the day with this classic Claret from Château Lagrange. Enticing aromatics draw you in leading onto a wonderful melange of cherry chocolate liqueurs blackcurrant jam blackberry crumble raspberries truffles autumns leaves Cuban cigars and cedar. We could drink this all day long – especially alongside herby stews roasts and bakes – but it will also reward careful cellaring.
Château Lagrange is a winery that has changed name several times since the middle ages and was once owned by Baron de Brane along with Brane-Cantenac and Mouton Rothschild the latter being called Brane-Mouton at the time. Lagrange was bought by Suntory in 1983 and the Japanese company have made big investments in the château yielding fabulous results in recent years.
