Château Lagrange is a renowned winery located in the Saint-Julien appellation of Bordeaux, France. The estate has a rich history dating back to the 18th century when it was owned by the Count of Toulouse. In 1820, the property was purchased by the Lagrange family, who gave the estate its current name.

The vineyards of Château Lagrange cover 118 hectares and are planted with a mix of grape varieties, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. The winery is known for its classic Bordeaux-style blends, which are characterized by their elegance, balance, and complexity.

The production process at Château Lagrange is carefully controlled to ensure the highest quality wines. The grapes are hand-harvested and sorted before being fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The wine is then aged in oak barrels for up to 20 months, depending on the vintage.

Château Lagrange produces several different wines, including its flagship Grand Vin, which is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. The wine is known for its deep ruby color, complex aromas of black fruit, and firm tannins. Other wines produced by the estate include Les Fiefs de Lagrange, a second wine made from younger vines, and Moulin de Lagrange, a more affordable option made from grapes grown on the estate's clay and limestone soils.

Overall, Château Lagrange is a producer of some of the finest wines in Bordeaux. Its commitment to quality and tradition has earned it a reputation as one of the top wineries in the region.

Tasting notes20142012201020092007200620052000199592 Points - The Wine Advocate”The 2014 Lagrange has indeed pulled its socks up, as I opined when I tasted the wine from barrel. Now in bottle, it has a conservative, tertiary nose with introverted black fruit mixed with cedar and sandalwood aromas. It feels tight at the moment but there is satisfying focus here. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin on the entry, though the Merlot component becomes more prominent towards the finish and offers a lovely fleshy, poised finish with a dab of black pepper on the aftertaste. Modest but stylish Lagrange, which is exactly what you expect." Neal Martin92 Points - The Wine Advocate"Firm and balanced with blueberries, blackberries and hints of citrus and minerals. Medium body, fine tannins and a fresh finish. Best after 2017.” James Suckling 95 Points - The Wine Advocate"The 2010 Lagrange has one of the most Pauillac-inspired aromatics amongst the flight of Saint-Julien’s with blackberry, wild hedgerow, hints of iodine and a light floral element. You could lose yourself in these aromatics. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, a superb line of acidity, more approachable than the 2010 Ducru-Beaucaillou with a harmonious light spiced finish with gentle grip. This is another outstanding Saint-Julien. Superb. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 10-Year On Bordeaux horizontal. Drink 2022-2055.” Neal Martin 93 Points - The Wine Advocate”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.“ Robert Parker90 Points - The Wine Advocate”Tasted at BI Wine & Spirits' 10-Years-On tasting, the 2007 Lagrange has a crisp and focused, graphite-tinged bouquet that is well defined, showing more precision than many of its Saint Julien peers. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit, grippy in the mouth, with cedar and sage towards the finish. There is impressive body and presence conferred by this Lagrange that is aging with style (as this Saint Julien has a propensity to do in more challenging growing seasons). This is one to watch.” Neal Martin93 Points - The Wine Advocate”Tasted at Bordeaux Index's annual 10-Year On tasting in London. I awarded the 2006 Château Lagrange a very high score when I tasted it from barrel. It does nothing to dispel my optismism in bottle after ten years. It has a lively, quite vivacious bouquet with blackberry, briary, cedar and violet scents, almost Margaux-like in style. The palate is medium-bodied with a fine grip in the mouth. The acidity here is well judged, extremely well focused with impressive weight and structure on the finish, backed up by that tobacco-stained fruit. You cannot go wrong with Lagrange in this vintage.” Neal Martin94 Points - The Wine Advocate”Once again the provocative words “the best ever made” appear in my tasting notes. In twenty-eight years, I have never tasted a Lagrange as amazing as this 2005. Its dense ruby/purple color is accompanied by pure notes of creme de cassis, cedar, spice box, and a hint of cherries. Full-bodied, powerful, and opulent, with high tannin as well as extract in addition to great freshness, definition, and length, this long-lived beauty should be at its finest between 2012-2030.”Robert Parker90 Points - The Wine Advocate”A deep ruby/purple color is followed by classic notes of black currants, cedar, tobacco leaf, and spice box. Displaying better integration of new oak as well as more elegance and finesse than usual (Lagrange tends to be blatantly oaky in many vintages), it possesses sweet fruit, pretty flavors, and a clean, supple-textured finish. Enjoy it over the next 12-14 years.” Robert Parker93 Points - The Wine Advocate”An impressive performance by Lagrange, the 2000 possesses a saturated ruby/purple color with obvious notes of melted licorice, creme de cassis, and toasty new oak. This ripe, dense, full-bodied St.-Julien is chewy, thick, high in tannin, large-bodied, and impressively long and dense. As always, it is less expressive than some of its peers, but it is loaded as well as reasonably priced.” Robert Parker90 Points - The Wine Advocate”The 1995 Lagrange is similar to the 1996, but the fruit is sweeter, the acidity lower, and the wine less marked by Cabernet Sauvignon. The color is a deep ruby/purple. The wine boasts a roasted herb, charcoal, black currant, mineral, and new oak-scented nose. Medium to full-bodied and ripe, with copious quantities of jammy black cherry and cassis flavors presented in a medium-bodied, low acid, moderately tannic style, this well-endowed, purely made wine requires cellaring.” Robert Parker

Deep garnet in color, the 2010 Lagrange gives up notes of baked blackcurrants, stewed plums and fried herbs with nuances of crushed rocks and balsamic plus a touch of fungi. Full-bodied, the palate has a firm line of grainy tannins and fantastic freshness helping to define the black fruit and earthy flavors, finishing a little lifted.
Medium to deep garnet colored, the 2009 Lagrange rolls out of the glass with beautiful redcurrant jelly, warm blackcurrants and blueberry preserves notions plus hints of fallen leaves, camphor and pencil lead. Medium to full-bodied, it fills the palate with red and black fruit preserves and lively herbal sparks, with a firm grainy backbone and great freshness on the finish.

Château Lagrange is a renowned winery located in the Saint-Julien appellation of the Bordeaux region in France. The history of this estate dates back to the 18th century when it was owned by the Baron de Brane, who also owned the famous Château Mouton Rothschild. The estate was later acquired by the Count Duchatel in 1820, who expanded the vineyards and modernized the winemaking facilities.

Today, Château Lagrange is owned by the Japanese beverage company Suntory and is known for producing some of the finest wines in the Saint-Julien appellation. The estate covers 118 hectares of vineyards, which are planted with a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot grapes.

The winemaking process at Château Lagrange is a combination of traditional and modern techniques. The grapes are hand-harvested and sorted before being fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The wine is then aged in oak barrels for 18 to 20 months, depending on the vintage.

The wines produced by Château Lagrange are known for their elegance, complexity, and aging potential. The flagship wine of the estate is the Château Lagrange Grand Vin, which is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. This wine is characterised by its deep ruby colour, aromas of blackcurrant, cedar, and tobacco, and a long, smooth finish.

In addition to the Grand Vin, Château Lagrange also produces a second wine called Les Fiefs de Lagrange. This wine is made from younger vines and is aged for 12 to 14 months in oak barrels. It is a lighter and more approachable wine than the Grand Vin, but still exhibits the same elegance and complexity.

Overall, Château Lagrange is a producer that is highly regarded in the world of wine. Its wines are sought after by collectors and connoisseurs alike, and the estate has a long and rich history that adds to its allure. If you are looking for a Bordeaux wine that is both elegant and complex, Château Lagrange is definitely a producer to consider.

Bordeaux, in the southwest of France, needs little introduction as one of the world's most famous, prestigious and prolific wine regions. The majority of Bordeaux wines (nearly 90 percent of production volume) are the dry, medium- and full-bodied red Bordeaux Blends that established its reputation.

The finest (and most expensive) of these are the wines from the great châteaux of the Haut-Médoc and the Right Bank appellations Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. The former is focused (at the top level) on Cabernet Sauvignon, the latter pair on on Merlot.

The legendary reds are complemented by high-quality white wines based on Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc. These range from dry whites to challenge the best from the Burgundy region (Pessac-Léognan is particularly renowned) to the sweet, botrytized nectars of Sauternes.
