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. 04/2025

The 2024 Lagrange consists of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon (the second highest ever), 10% Merlot (the lowest ever) and the remainder Petit Verdot, with 11% vin de presse. Matured in 55% new oak, this has a tightly-wound bouquet that demands a little more coaxing than the Les Fiefs, though this was on a day when, for some reason, some Saint-Julien samples required it. The palate is medium-bodied and obviously driven by the dominant Cabernet, with grainy tannins and black fruit laced with graphite and cedar. Cohesive on the finish with just the right amount of sapidity, this is obviously not in the league of the benchmark 2022, but it constitutes a successful wine for the vintage. 04/2025

Notes of minty cassis, blackberries and pencil shavings introduce the 2024 Lagrange, a medium-bodied, dense wine with a sweet core of fruit framed by somewhat firm and assertive tannins. 04/2025

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. 05/2025

Couleur sombre, intense. Nez moyennement aromatique, au fruité mûr, évoluant floral (violette) à l'évolution dans le verre. Charnu en entrée de bouche, savoureux au milieu, avec du goût, le vin monte délicatement en finale, séveux et aromatique. C'est très bon et bien servi par 84 % de cabernet sauvignon, second record après le 2022 (86 %). Assemblage : 84 % cabernet sauvignon, 10 % merlot, 6 % petit verdot. Degré d'alcool : 12°93 - pH : 3,51. Rendement : 26 hl/ha. 04/2025

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. 04/2025
