Mit einem Hektarertrag von nur 26 Hektoliter pro Hektar gelang Lagrange 2020 ein perfekter Saint-Julien: Cassisnoten und Schokolade im Duft, große Intensität mit vielfältigen Nuancen. Ein Bordeaux mit tiefer Struktur, Schmelz, Vielschichtigkeit und einem lebhaften Fruchtkern. Das feinkörnige Tannin gibt dem Abgang einen sanften Kick.
Lisa Perrotti-Brown:"Deep purple-black in color, the 2020 Lagrange leaps from the glass with vibrant notes of redcurrant jelly, ripe blackcurrants and minted blackberries, followed by nuances of dark chocolate, star anise and mossy tree bark. The medium-bodied palate is both super intense and super elegant, featuring exquisitely ripe, fine-grained tannins and seamless freshness to frame the bright, crunchy black and red fruits, finishing long and mineral laced." (94-96)
Jeb Dunnuck:"A wine that excels in the appellation, the 2020 Château Lagrange has a slightly modern vibe, with plenty of oak, yet still brings classic Bordeaux tobacco, lead pencil, and earthy minerality as well as pure cassis fruits. Medium to full-bodied, balanced, and just about seamless, it’s going to require 5-6 years of bottle age but should cruise for 20-25 years in cold cellars." (94-96)
