Tasting notes
Offers mineral and blackberry on the nose. Full-bodied, with fine, silky tannins and a mineral, berry and light vanilla character. A little lean on the finish. Tight and well-structured for the vintage. Needs some time in the bottle. Best after 2012. 23,065 cases made. James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2010

An outstanding effort, the seductive, plump, broadly flavored, dense purple-colored 2007 Lagrange boasts sweet creme de cassis, camphor, and subtle spicy oak notes. Generously endowed and medium to full-bodied, it is ideal for drinking over the next 10-12 years. Wine Advocate.April, 2010
Tasted at BI Wine & Spirits' 10-Years-On tasting, the 2007 Lagrange has a crisp and focused, graphite-tinged bouquet that is well defined, showing more precision than many of its Saint Julien peers. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit, grippy in the mouth, with cedar and sage towards the finish. There is impressive body and presence conferred by this Lagrange that is aging with style (as this Saint Julien has a propensity to do in more challenging growing seasons). This is one to watch.
