Chateau Lagrange 2022

Château Lagrange is a distinguished Saint-Julien estate offering classic Left Bank character with aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, plum, cedar, graphite, tobacco, and baking spices. Fine-grained tannins, vibrant acidity, and well-integrated oak create a powerful yet elegant palate with exceptional balance and long aging potential.

Food Pairing: Pair with roast lamb, grilled ribeye, beef tenderloin, duck confit, venison, aged Gruyère, or wild mushroom dishes.

96 Points - Decanter

Juicy and intensely ripe in terms of texture - tannins are fleshy but also really cool giving this a push-pull of bright acidity and actually quite serious mineral elements of flint and liquorice. Such an appealing weight in the mouth, layered and structured with expressive fruit and lively juiciness all combining to a stylish and inviting whole. So much going on but managed with finesse and elegance. A clear success in 2022.

95 Points - Jeb Dunnuck

Cassis, ripe black cherries, freshly sharpened pencils, leather, and violet notes all shine in the 2022 Château 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 Médocs.

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.

94 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2022 Lagrange has turned out nicely in bottle, offering up classic aromas of crème de cassis, plums and pencil shavings, framed by a deft touch of oak vanillin. Medium- to full-bodied, dense and velvety, with lively acids and chalky tannins, it's an especially muscular, rich Lagrange that will reward a bit of patience.
