Château Lagrange har 108 hektar vinmarker i ét stykke, hvilket er ekstremt sjældent. Vinmarken ligger lige ved siden af Gruaud Larose og er beplantet med vinstokke, der i gennemsnit er over 40 år gamle. Bruno Eynard er leder af vingården. Efter den noget sprøde, men meget interessante Gruaud Larose er Lagrange en rigtig godbid. Fin, sødmefuld, rød frugt med stor volumen. Ikke helt så legesyg som Branaire-Ducru, men bestemt på jagt efter den. Intens, aromatisk mund. Masser af rød frugt, masser af Saint-Julien, men også et varmt centrum, kødfuld, ret kraftig. Meget god Lagrange, absolut øvre mellemklasse i Saint-Julien, i et meget stort år. Stor varme, stor harmoni og balance med sød rød frugt. Dette er et fremragende match. Meget Saint-Julien. Chic værdi! 97+/100

Parker om: Chateau Lagrange 3eme Cru

Deep purple-black in color, the 2020 Lagrange leaps from the glass with vibrant notes of redcurrant jelly, ripe blackcurrants and minted blackberries, followed by nuances of dark chocolate, star anise and mossy tree bark. The medium-bodied palate is both super intense and super elegant, featuring exquisitely ripe, fine-grained tannins and seamless freshness to frame the bright, crunchy black and red fruits, finishing long and mineral laced. 94-96/100

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Lagrange 3eme Cru

A wine that excels in the appellation, the 2020 Château Lagrange has a slightly modern vibe, with plenty of oak, yet still brings classic Bordeaux tobacco, lead pencil, and earthy minerality as well as pure cassis fruits. Medium to full-bodied, balanced, and just about seamless, it’s going to require 5-6 years of bottle age but should cruise for 20-25 years in cold cellars. 94-96/100

Suckling om: Chateau Lagrange 3eme Cru

Attractive nose of blackberries, blackcurrants, walnuts, ink and kaffir leaves. It’s medium- to full-bodied, firm and structured, with chewy and tight tannins. Dark and intense, with a long and persistent finish. Turns to graphite and cedar. Needs time to open and soften. Try from 2026. 94/100
