Chateau Lagrange 2014

Château La Lagune is an elegant Third Growth Haut-Médoc renowned for its refined aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, violet, cedar, graphite, tobacco, and subtle baking spices. Silky tannins, vibrant acidity, and beautifully integrated oak create a harmonious palate with remarkable complexity, finesse, and exceptional aging potential.

Food Pairing: Pair with beef Wellington, roast lamb, grilled ribeye, duck breast, venison, aged Comté, or truffle-infused mushroom dishes.

Firm and still dry with the solid tannins, the wine's ripe fruitiness is developing well. The combination gives great potential. Black currant and berry fruits are both there with crisp juicy acidity. The aftertaste is a reminder that this wine has a long way to go. Drink from 2024.

This is a classic St.-Julien with red fruit and delicate herbs on the nose. The oak is quite discreet both there and on the mid-weight body. Then the serious but rather elegant dry tannins come through on the long finish. Drink in 2022.

The 2014 Lagrange has indeed pulled its socks up, as I opined when I tasted the wine from barrel. Now in bottle, it has a conservative, tertiary nose with introverted black fruit mixed with cedar and sandalwood aromas. It feels tight at the moment but there is satisfying focus here. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins on the entry, though the Merlot component becomes more prominent towards the finish and offers a lovely fleshy, poised finish with a dab of black pepper on the aftertaste. Modest but stylish Lagrange, which is exactly what you expect.

90 Points - Decanter

Attractive Cabernet-Merlot fruit with the slightly understated elegance that is true to Lagrange. Lovely fragrance and beautiful depth of fruit; elegant harmony.
