Lagrange 2010

Lagrange

Case Format: 12x75cl

Max score: 96.0

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.

Tasted blind at the Southwold Bordeaux 2010 tasting. The Lagrange 2010 has an attractive gravel-scented bouquet with fine definition and sense of earthiness, cedar and sous-bois aromas quite prominent amongst the black fruit. The palate has a ripe entry with plenty of blackberry and cassis fruit, although it does not quite possess the weight and structure of its peers. The length is satisfactory rather than exemplary. This has shown much better elsewhere. Tasted January 2014.

A bit more inky subtlety on the nose than the Talbot tasted immediately before it. But it’s light and fresh and just a little underripe for a 2010.
