2020 Château Lagrange Saint-Julien Grand Cru Classé

Château Lagrange is one of the most prominent Grand Cru Classé winery from Saint-Julien. Located entirely within the Saint-Julien appellation, the vineyard extends in a single block over two north-south rises of Gunzian gravel soil. In parts large and coarse and in others finer, this gravel is combined with sand or iron-rich clay, depending on the plot. With a height of 24 meters, the center of the domain marks the highest point of Saint-Julien. The estate covers 182 hectares (450 acres), of which 118 hectares (292 acres) are under vines. Most plots have a drainage system.

In the glass, this Medoc has a deep garnet purple colour. In the nose, the Lagrange opens a little closed, but then as the wine swirls in the glass, slowly revealing cedarwood notes of a cigar box, tar, pencil shavings, camphorsuckle and fragrant earthy notes with plums, cherries plus a hint of yeast extract are released. On the palate full bodied brimming with black fruit and earthy accents, it (still) has firm tannins and a good freshness, ending with a lingering mineral note. Drink window is great (until 2055+) 95/100 Parker.
