芸術的ともいえるバランス感。シャトー・ラグランジュで栽培している黒ぶどう品種３種（カベルネ・ソーヴィニヨン、メルロ、プティ・ヴェルド）すべてを精巧に組み合わせて生まれます。若い段階ではたくましさと華やかな風味が印象的で、ゆっくり穏やかに熟成が進むにつれて繊細で芳醇な味わいへと変化します。
テイスティングコメント: カシスやブラックチェリーのアロマと、スパイスおよびスモーキーなニュアンスを感じるでしょう。年数が経つにつれ、サンジュリアンのグランヴァン特有の、スギ、リコリス、あるいはタバコのニュアンスが生まれます。
THE VINTAGE
2019, just like 2018, will be remembered for its really contrasting weather. We had a cold, wet spring, and then a dry, hot summer with recordbreaking sunshine ! This was the longest harvest we had ever seen. The berry weight was the lowest of the last 36 years at Lagrange. We took a gamble stopping for a while between the Merlot and the Cabernet, judging the latter’s phenolic maturity not in adequacy with its technological maturity. It was important not to rush, tasting the grapes daily as the skins became gradually thinner and aromas were progressively revealed: we harvested the richest grapes in the domaine’s modern history.
TASTING NOTE
The character of our unique terroir and our technical team’s expertise have allowed this vintage to surpass itself. It boasts both phenolic richness and freshness in the fruit. This is a powerful, creamy, smooth wine. With a record 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, the Lagrange 2019 blend will go down in history. The expressive, aromatic nose opens with black cherry, blackcurrant and liquorice. In the palate, the entry is silky and plump with powerful, velvety tannins. This distinguished and elegant 2019 will take its place among our iconic vintages. The ageing potential is simply remarkable !

“Quite a streamlined Lagrange in the context of a warm growing season, this feels agile and nimble on the finish. Excellent.”
Jane Anson 95
“Just enormously elegant, with tons of St Julien balance, and fine tannins that are sure to take it through the next few decades with ease. I love this wine, one of the most enjoyable of the vintage in St Julien, with a strikingly seductive texture. “
THE VINTAGE
In 2018 the total rainfall was above the average of the last two decades, mainly due to the heavy rainfall in the first half of the year. The average temperatures were also among the highest ever recorded by our weather station. The summer was, however, one of the driest recorded at Lagrange since 1996.
TASTING NOTE
Dark color with purple tint on the rim, black cherry, blackcurrant and fresh prune. Powerful and unctuous with a lot of freshness. This vintage seems to be very approachable and well balanced. Tannins are dense and very silky. This amazing wine looks like a blend between the 2009 and the 2016. 2018 is the ultimate generous wine.

“Full-bodied and jam-packed with black fruits and earthy accents, it has a solid frame of firm, chunky tannins and just enough freshness.”
James Molesworth 93 – 96
“Vivid from start to finish.”
THE VINTAGE
2017 was early and contrasted. The total rainfall is lower than the average of the last twenty years. The month of April was particularly dry. The cool nights culminated in severe frost on the 27th April. Spring was warm with average rainfall. Flowering occurred early, quickly and in ideal conditions. The summer was warm and dry until September 8th. A tremendous work carried out to mark 250 000 vine stocks during colour change made the intraplot selection process easier at harvesttime
TASTING NOTE
Ruby color with purple reflects. On the nose, some notes of black cherry, licorice and blackcurrant appear. The mouthfeel is silky and unctuous with a lot of freshness. This vintage features an early drinkability. Tannins are soft and well integrated. A really harmonious wine which reminds us the style of 2012 and 2015 vintages. It embodies the elegance of Saint-Julien wines.

“The palate is elegantly played with plush tannins and an impressive intensity of crunchy black fruits, finishing with great length and plenty of depth.”
Roger Voss 94
“Balanced and stylish, this wine conveys the elegant side of Saint-Julien.”
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.

TASTING NOTE
Dark purple red with violet hue and almost black core. Aromatic nose with elegant character, dark berries, discreet oak spices and very fine toasted aromas. On the palate fullbodied yet elegant, ripe tannins with velvety character, with a long and fruity finish carried by the bold Cabernet Sauvignon. A powerful and well balanced wine.
REVIEWS
James Suckling 94
“Anyone who thinks that modern Bordeaux has become too soft or easy should taste this seriously tannic yet sleek and vibrant wine.”
Jane Anson 93
“Excellent aromatics […] This is a big wine that demands attention and displays some real St-Julien balance.”
ファーストヴィンテージは１９８３年、レ・フィエフ・ド・ラグランジュは、セカンドワインという枠には収まりきりません。原料に使われるぶどう樹は、若株とはいえ平均樹齢３０年。カベルネ・ソーヴィニヨンは砂利質の土壌、メルロの一部は粘土質の土壌で栽培しています。
テイスティングコメント: しなやかなタンニンが印象的な、とにかくエレガントなワインです。レ・フィエフ・ド・ラグランジュの魅力は、赤果実とスパイスのニュアンス。凝縮感のある風味が楽しめます。若い段階から個性を花開かせますが、ある程度の熟成も可能です。

レ・ザルム・ド・ラグランジュのファーストヴィンテージは１９９６年。当時のメドックでは大変珍しかった、樽発酵・樽熟成の白ワインです。セミヨン特有の高い粘性とソーヴィニヨンのみずみずしさとが見事な調和を奏で、繊細かつはつらつとした風味が楽しめます。爽やかなスタイルが魅力的なワインです。
テイスティングコメント: たっぷりと広がる酸味あふれる果実の風味をお楽しみください。レモンやグレープフルーツといった柑橘の香りが、トロピカルフルーツ、桃のほのかなアロマと絶妙に交じり合いハーモニーを生み出します。

TASTING NOTE
This hot, dry vintage brought such an extraordinary concentration in the grapes that the yield was a mere 37hl/ha. This phenomenon was especially true for the Cabernet Sauvignon, explaining the unusually high proportion of Merlot in the blend this year. Our Cabernets provide the backbone and freshness in this wine that offers pleasant aromas of blackcurrant, cherry and liquorice. The generous presence of the Merlot brings volume, smoothness and balance to the whole, promising a longer drinking window. The key word in this very attractive vintage is Harmony.

A pure and precise nose on blackcurrant and black cherry aromas . This solar vintage shows a nice freshness, and a palate both tangy and elegant. The wine is lively and offers a beautiful length on the finish.

TASTING NOTE
A shiny and rubyred colour, with good intensity. Aromatic and attractive nose revealing fresh berryfruits, redcurrent, and cherry. Hints of cloves, honey gingerbread and menthol conferring a complexity and character to the wine. In mouth, the attack is silky and fresh with supple tannins. 2016 is the most complex vintage we have ever produce. A genuine charming wine brought by crispy redfruits aromas and grilled hazelnuts on the finish.
