With its deep ruby color, this Haut-Médoc reveals a nose of red and black fruit notes, hints of licorice and menthol, and a characteristic balsamic touch. On the palate, it offers well-integrated tannins, balance, and roundness, along with a lovely, long, and flavorful finish… A fine red wine to enjoy right away!

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2021 guide): 4*Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)
About the estate:
This vast vineyard estate, which—like its neighbor Gruaud-Larose—is remarkably uniform, has seen its vines mature and impart an unprecedented intensity to its grand cru, while refining its style over the past three years thanks to the efforts of the current technical team. Its wine is a straightforward, classic, almost mineral expression of the finest terroirs of Saint-Julien, revealing an undeniable similarity in flavor and style to Léoville-Las-Cases—which is no small compliment. Excellent value for the price.
Guide des Vins Gault & Millau
5-Star Rated Estate (Outstanding Production)
About the estate:
It is often thanks to the owner’s dedication that Bordeaux châteaux are able to reach their full potential. Lagrange was not so fortunate, changing hands frequently. It wasn’t until the Japanese group Suntory took over in 1983 that the estate received the attention it deserved: the vineyard was replanted, a new winery was built, and, most importantly, a top-notch team was assembled, led by Marcel Ducasse—who was replaced in 2007 by Bruno Eynard, who had served as his assistant for 17 years. The new winery now facilitates even more precise plot-by-plot winemaking.

Rated Estate (2019 Guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)
About the estate:
Acquired by the Japanese group Suntory in 1983, the château quickly established itself as a reliable and consistent choice within the appellation, producing elegant, well-structured, and consistently affordable wines. It is a vast estate managed with great care, but its most recent vintages—while by no means lacking in merit—have struck us as slightly less compelling. In a highly competitive landscape, facing neighbors who spare no effort to produce the finest wines possible, Lagrange seems somewhat stagnant, leading us to remove its star.
