Chateau Lagrange 2022

Chateau Lagrange 2022 is a Third Growth Saint-Julien from Bordeaux's Left Bank. Cabernet Sauvignon leads the blend with Merlot and Petit Verdot, creating a structured, precise red with impressive concentration. The wine was matured for 21 months, with 60% of the ageing conducted in new French oak.

Food Pairing: Pairs best with roasted lamb, beef tenderloin, venison, and herb-crusted prime rib.

Structured and so appealing on the palate, this has a rich texture but doesn't come across as too much. Filling but lifted giving freshness and ripe fruit. I love the delicacy of the tannins, this is finessed with so much detail on show. Feels cool and calm, not shouting, everything in harmony and delivering a really classically styled wine. Power is there for sure but this has poise too. A lovely Lagrange.

95 Points - Jeb Dunnuck

Cassis, ripe black cherries, freshly sharpened pencils, leather, and violet notes all shine in the 2022 Chateau Lagrange, a remarkably pure, concentrated, powerful Saint-Julien with fine tannins and a seamless, balanced mouthfeel. It has the fruit to shine even today. As with many of these top Medocs, I wouldn't be surprised to see this close down with 2-3 years of bottle age. It's going to be long-lived. The blend is 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, and 2% Petit Verdot that spent 21 months in 60% new French oak.

95 Points - James Suckling

A polished and expressive St.-Julien that shows spot-on balance. Fresh blueberries, wet stones, currants and a touch of red berries. Medium- to full-bodied with fine, chalky tannins that are firm but dissolved. Quite precise, juicy and focused. Beautiful balance and length.
