A wonderful Lagrange from this challenging vintage. This has excellent depth and complexity, showing vivid berry fruit, blackcurrants, tapenade, spices and minerals. Crunchy and succulent with medium to full body and a long, succulent finish. Real poise.
Deep garnet-purple colored. Needs a lot of swirling to coax out notes of juicy blackberries and black raspberries, plus hints of spice box, licorice and bay leaves. The light to medium-bodied palate delivers lightly chewy tannins and just enough freshness to match the delicate black and red berry layers, finishing savory.
Classically balanced St Julien, firm cassis and white peppers, enjoyable mid palate texture, slate textured tannins add grip and tension, successful in the vintage.
The 2024 Lagrange is quite promising. Deep and vibrant in the glass, with terrific energy, Lagrange offers fine depth and plenty of harmony to match. Dark red cherry, spice, new leather, tobacco and incense resonate on the layered finish. Tasted two times.
Based on 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot, the 2024 Château Lagrange offers darker berries, spicy wood, chocolate, and tobacco notes. It shows a concentrated, rich, nicely textured style on the palate, with some chewy tannins. I love its density, and it's a solid effort that will have tons of character.
