CRITIC REVIEWS
Georgina Hindle
Vivid bright pink colour to the rim. Strongly perfumed with ripe jammy, plummy fruit, lots of red cherry, violet and blackcurrant but with strong herbal and menthol Cabernet markers on the nose too. Sleek and straight, lively though, this has a buzzy tone to the juicy fruit, tangy, and almost sour but stays the right side. Really well controlled, fresh and lifted but not overly so, lovely length and weight. Generous and easy to enjoy. A touch of plumpness too, no doubt because of the Merlot, with the Petit Verdot adding colour and a flash of exoticism to the blend. 3.46pH. Ageing 20% new oak.

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2023 Les Fiefs de Lagrange features notes of juicy red and black plums, fresh boysenberries, and ripe strawberries with touches of charcoal and damp soil. The medium-bodied palate delivers a crisp backbone and lightly chewy tannins, with bright, crunchy red fruit flavors and a lifted finish. The blend is 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, 41% Merlot, and 13% Petit Verdot, with pH 3.44.
