Chateau Lagrange 3eme Cru Classe

Lagrange 2008

Lagrange

Case Format: 12x75cl

Max score: 17.5

The huge Château Lagrange is a 182-hectare estate in the Saint-Julien appellation of Bordeaux. The vineyards are planted with Cabernet Sauvignon (c.66%), Merlot (c.27%) and Petit Verdot (c.7%). The vines are dispersed on two gentle sloping gravel hillsides, close to Château Gruaud Larose and Château Branaire Ducru with a terroir that includes gravel, sand and clay soils as well as a few parcels of iron deposits. A highly tannic wine, Château Lagrange is best enjoyed with at least 8-10 years of bottle ageing, with peak maturity reached between 10-25 years after the vintage. Expect sumptuous aromas of blackcurrant and black cherry, with notes of smoke and spices. Over the years, notes of liquorice, cedar and tobacco will emerge.

Robert M. Parker, Jr.

The dark ruby/purple-hued 2008 reveals an angular, austere personality along with medium to full-bodied, deep, concentrated fruit. An unusually backward and highly tannic 2008, it will benefit from 3-4 years of cellaring and should keep for 20 years. It is a very good wine, but it is not pleasant to drink at present.

Tasted blind. Dark crimson. Perfumed and polished on the nose. Very luscious and winning with some fine tannin underneath. Real energy here. A real standout performance by this property.
