THE VINTAGE
The rainy spring weather encouraged the budburst although we cannot say this was an early vintage. The flowering took place the driest week of the spring. 2016 was one of the hottest and driest summers ever! The harvest was late and long.
TASTING NOTE
Dark and deep with purple tint. Blackcherry, blackcurrant, liquorice and black pepper on the nose. Fullbodied, freshness with menthol, round, powerful and long finish. Enjoyable already, this exceptional 2016 is able to age a long time due to its silky tannins. A great and well balanced 2016 Lagrange: nice harmony with classicism and modernity.
Neal Martin 94 – 96
“It certainly is one of the most expressive Lagrange that I have tasted […] This is a great Lagrange.”
Jane Anson 95
“No doubt this is a fantastic Lagrange, to be savored.”
Michel Bettane 95 – 96
“Puissant, très sérieusement construit.”
Frederic Durand Bazin 18,5
“Belle matière, superbe allonge.”
