Reviews

James Suckling 95

The best wine from this chateau in many years! A huge, dramatic, blackcurrant and wild-blackberry nose and the first impression on the palate is every bit as intense. Nice acidity lifts this massive structure and keeps the imposing finish so fresh.

Wine Spectator 94

A textbook St.-Julien, with a fleshy yet focused beam of plum, blueberry and cassis flavors striding through, while warmed anise, sweet tobacco and iron notes play backup through the finish. Mouthwatering grip will allow this to cellar nicely.

Wine Advocate 95

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Lagrange sashays out of the glass with notions of candied violets, cassis, underbrush and warm black plums with waves of Black Forest cake, cedar chest and yeast extract scents. Medium to full-bodied, the bags of perfumed black fruits are solidly structured with super ripe, grainy tannins, finishing long and layered.

Technical Details

Ageing

Blending in January. Maturation for 21 months. 60 % of new oak barrels. Fining in barrel with fresh egg whites. Final blending before bottling.

Tasting notes

Dark and deep with purple tint. Blackcherry, blackcurrant, liquorice and black pepper on the nose. Fullbodied, freshness with menthol, round, powerful and long finish. Enjoyable already, this exceptional 2016 is able to age a long time due to its silky tannins. A great and well balanced 2016 Lagrange: nice harmony with classicism and modernity.

Vinification

Plot by plot and intra plot vinification. 102 thermoregulated stainless steel vats for 103 vine plots. Variable capacity of the vats : 36 to 220 hl. Selection of batch conducted according to the varietal, age of vines, terroir and grapes maturity. Traditional vinification at 26-28C during 18 to 25 days. Moderate pumping over every day, or pigeage or delestage. Malolactic fermentation through co inoculation.
