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. Whether you're a seasoned wine connoisseur or just starting to explore the world of Bordeaux wines, Château Lagrange is definitely a producer worth exploring.
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.
