Chateau Lagrange Saint Julien 2019 750ml

This superb wine reveals the remarkable richness and freshness of its fruit, as well as the terroir of this legendary Saint-Julien vineyard. In the 2019 vintage, Cabernet Sauvignon completely dominates the blend, a first in the domain’s history. The aromatic bouquet is intense and expressive, with lovely notes of dark fruit such as morello cherry and blackcurrant. On the palate, the attack reveals a full-bodied and meaty texture, supported by tannins that are both powerful and velvety soft. The Château Lagrange 2019 is endowed with a particular elegance and stylistic identity, placing it in line with the property’s outstanding vintages.

The tale of Château Lagrange revolves around second chances. The legendary Third Growth property has a comeback story to rival Château Margaux’s phenomenal rebirth. Interestingly, this Saint-Julien estate has a lot in common with the Margaux First Growth. Both properties had auspicious origins and outstanding terroir, but their fortunes declined over time. That being said, both Château Lagrange and Château Margaux were raised from the ashes by families and businesses dedicated to creating some of the best wines on the market. In the instance of Château Lagrange, it was the Suntory firm that propelled the estate to unprecedented heights. Many of Château Lagrange’s wines are regarded as exceptional values, and wise wine buyers should not pass up the opportunity to add these great wines to their collection.
