SF | The essence of Lagrange, that is to say an elegant, floral wine , with bags of fruit and a subtle tannic foundation, balancing acidity and a seductive ripe character which is neither over nor under-played. A large property, a little set back, which has benefited from investment ( Suntory) and impressive curation. The 2020 is already approachable , and does not lack for gastronomic potential 92
AJ | Dark black-red; almost opaque at the core. Warm, sweet, fresh, honeyed and pristine, there is an unusual tenderness and focus to the fruit qualities in St Julien this year which is very clear aromatically; a fine example here. Soft, fluid and elegant St Julien with a lyrical focus on the fruit qualities: pure, long, unalloyed and vivacious. Supple and drinkable, yet don't be misled: the gathered concentration of the fruit is very fine, and this will last well. As so often, Lagrange seems to summarise both commune and vintage with grace and aplomb.Drink Dates: 2026 - 2038.
