Château Lagrange 2020
Saint-Julien - Troisième Grand Cru Classé
96/100 James Suckling
Tasting in 2023 - “Very velvety tannins with juicy plums, currants and chocolate. Hazelnut too. Full-bodied, but so textured and gorgeous. Lots of nuts and fruit on the finish, but very subtle. Tension. Already beautiful and seductive, but give it four or five years...”

LEARN MORE ABOUT CHÂTEAU LAGRANGE:
Château Lagrange is a red wine produced in the Bordeaux region of France. It is classified as a third growth in the official classification of Bordeaux wines of 1855. Here is some information and advice for serving and tasting it:
- Wine characteristics: Château Lagrange is mainly composed of classic Bordeaux grape varieties, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. It is renowned for its richness, complexity and ability to age well. Lagrange wines often offer aromas of dark fruits, spices, cedar and tobacco, with firm tannins and good structure.
- Temperature: It is recommended to serve Château Lagrange at a slightly cool temperature, around 16-18 degrees Celsius. This will enhance its aromas and structure.
- Service: Since Château Lagrange is often a full-bodied and tannic wine, it can benefit from decanting before serving. By transferring it to a carafe a few hours before tasting, you will allow the wine to aerate, which will soften its tannins and intensify its aromas.
- Food pairings: Château Lagrange goes well with dishes rich in flavors, such as red meats, game and aged cheeses. You can also accompany it with dishes based on mushrooms or grilled vegetables to highlight its earthy aromas.
