A charming, undeniably delicious Saint-Julien, the 2009 Les Fiefs De Lagrange offers forward notes of blackcurrants, green tobacco, cedarwood, and a touch of forest floor. Medium-bodied, nicely textured, and elegant on the palate, with still nicely balanced acidity and ripe tannins, this is one solid second wine that's drinking beautifully today. Enjoy bottles any time over the coming decade.

Weather conditions
Surprisingly, 2009 is not a very hot year (nowhere near the heat-wave of 2003), nor is it a very dry one such as 2002 or 2005. However, the arrival of rainfall and warmth corresponded perfectly to the vine’s needs during its growth cycle.
Very good conditions during the months of August, September and October. The last 10 days of September and the first of October are even the best of the year. From 28th September to 16th October 2009.
