The 2009 vintage in the press:

J-M Quarin (February 2020): 98/100 “Wow, it's impossible to expect such delicacy from such a nose! The wine never ceases to melt, complex to the touch and to the taste. It evolves serenely to become more solid on the finish, without losing its complexity. Very long persistence, fresh, noble and ultimately unputdownable. Charm, hedonism, aesthetics and precision. A style the opposite of the 2005.”

Vinous (N. Martin - February 2019): 97/100 "The 2009 Château Margaux is blessed with stunning nose that delivers intense blackberry and cranberry scents, crushed rose petals and touches of slate. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannin, taut and quite linear with an effortless and precise finish that is a pure joy. You have the sense of a Château Margaux that is only beginning to show what it can do. Brilliant."

The 2022 vintage in the press:

Vinous (A. Galloni - January 2025): 90/100 "The 2022 Fiefs de Lagrange is a terrific second wine. Plump, juicy and super-expressive, the 2022 is a charmer. Succulent contours wrap around a core of ripe red-toned fruit, blood orange, cinnamon and mint."

J-M Quarin (February 2025): 91/100 "Beautiful dark colour, intense and young. Lovely, very aromatic nose, with pure, ripe, vanilla-flavoured fruit. Smooth on the attack, suave and fragrant on the mid-palate, the wine develops into a mellow, juicy wine with an overall subtlety never seen before. A very fine combination of fruit and wood on the finish."

Bettane + Desseauve (Guide 2026) : 91/100

The 2016 vintage in the press:

Vinous (N. Martin - January 2022): 90/100 "I pulled the trigger on this Deuxième Vin, thinking it might be ready to drink. I was wrong. it has an intense blackberry and blueberry nose that, despite decanting, remains quite closed. The palate is potential, but I advise keeping this in the cellar for another two or three years."

The 2015 vintage in the press:

Vinous (N. Martin - January 2019): 90/100 "The 2015 Les Fiefs de Lagrange has a generous bouquet with red cherries, strawberry and light red currant jus aromas. The oak here is nicely integrated, and a little more gregarious in style than its peers. The palate is medium-bodied with a powdery texture, a fine bead of acidity, quite sharp and citrus in style with a generous dash of white pepper on the finish. This is turning into a much better second wine than I expected."

The 2023 vintage in the press:

Vinous (A. Galloni – March 2026): 91/100 "The 2023 Sarget de Gruaud Larose is a bold, juicy second wine to drink now and over the next decade. A rush of dark red cherry fruit, blood orange, pomegranate, menthol, chalk and mint are all dialed up. This exuberant, boisterous St. Julien is all charm."

J-M Quarin (March 2026): 89/100 "A very colourful wine with an intense nose, smelling of ripe fruit. Delicate on the palate with a lovely taste of black fruit and a finish that is not very long but flavourful. Very pleasant throughout. Enjoy young."

Vinous (N. Martin - February 2026): 86/100 "The 2023 Sarget de Gruaud Larose was bottled in May. This offers blackberry and mulberry scents allied with pressed flower and just a background of tangerine aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with gritty tannins on the entry. Tarry black fruit, cracked black pepper, good grip with a very peppery aftertaste. Give it a couple of years in bottle."

The 2022 vintage in the press:

Vinous (N. Martin – January 2026): 89/100 “The 2022 Sarget de Gruaud Larose has a nicely detailed nose: black fruit with loam and undergrowth, a touch of cigar smoke. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, modest depth and a simple, sapid finish. There is just a bit of chewiness to contend with.”

J-M Quarin (February 2025): 89/100 "Dark, intense colour. Very aromatic nose, fruity, subtle and livelier than during the Primeurs presentation. The palate is fruity, flavoursome and full-bodied, gaining strength on the finish. Normal length, seductive and fragrant."

The 2023 vintage in the press:

Vinous (A. Galloni – March 2026): 93/100 "The 2023 Le Petit Ducru de Ducru-Beaucaillou has come together so well with élevage. Dark-fleshed fruit, leather, gravel, incense, scorched earth and licorice convey a palpable feeling of gravitas. Today, the Petit Ducru is rather dark and almost somber in bearing."

La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2027) : 90/100 “Le Petit Ducru takes things up a notch; it’s much more concentrated and full-bodied, with lovely notes of juicy red fruit and plenty of bite.”

See the technical sheet

The 2022 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2026) : 93/100

Vinous (A. Galloni - January 2025): 92/100 "The 2022 Le Petit Ducru is bursting with inky dark red/blue fruit, new leather, spice tobacco, graphite, mocha and espresso. This bold, juicy Saint-Julien offers tons of immediacy, as the Merlot was especially ripe. Le Petit Ducru is quite the extrovert, but it has good structure, too."

The 2023 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2027) : 92/100 “Gloria is obviously more serious, but with that lovely, rich body and those notes of fresh fruit that make it very appealing.”

Vinous (A. Galloni – March 2026): 94/100 "The 2023 Gloria is a total delight. Medium in body and vibrant, with terrific energy, the 2023 is seriously impressive. It is easily one of the sleepers of this vintage. Blood orange, crushed flowers and cinnamon weave through a core of red-toned fruit. There's a fair amount of Merlot in the blend, which adds to the wine's open-knit character. What a total delight."

J-M Quarin (March 2026): 93/100 "Very aromatic and subtle nose. Hints of ripe fruit against a citrus backdrop. Develops into a creamier, fresher flavor, with a touch of ink when swirled in the glass. Fleshy on the palate, very aromatic in the middle, with a beautiful texture and a melting body, the wine lingers on the finish with flavors of cedar and blackcurrant mingled with oak. Impeccable tannins. It is long, unspottable, and very good. On par with the 2022."

Vinous (N. Martin - February 2026): 92/100 "The 2023 Gloria has a well-defined bouquet with a mixture of red and blueberry fruit, crushed violet and peony, quite Margaux-like in style. The palate is medium-bodied with finely tuned tannins, quite fresh and vibrant, not a powerful Saint-Julien but this has developed more clarity and nuance during its élevage. Very fine."

Le Point (May 2026) : 17-17.5/20 “A rich nose with notes of black fruit and cherry; dense on the palate with firm tannins, good acidity, very long, and a spicy finish.”

Bettane et Desseauve (Guide 2027) : 92/100

See the technical sheet

The 2022 vintage in the press:

Vinous (N. Martin – January 2026): 94/100 “The 2022 Gloria has an engaging and complex nose: black fruit, touches of blueberry, welcome estuarine scents, almost seaweed-like. Well defined, and the oak here is neatly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, well judged acidity, gains weight towards the finish but it maintains superb delineation and focus. Excellent.”

La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2026) : 94/100 "Full-bodied, rounded and beautifully expressive fruit. The palate is full and elegantly structured. A fine example of this vintage."

En Magnum (May 2025): "Well known to connoisseurs for its consistency and consistent price, this Saint Julien shines through with its purity of fruit, accessible roundness and superb finesse of tannin. A great classic of the appellation, this is a harmonious, well-balanced 2022, with no heaviness despite a very tasty finish."

Vinous (A. Galloni - January 2025): 93/100 "The 2022 Gloria is bold, punchy and super-expressive. In this vintage, Gloria has a bit more mid-palate richness and overall heft than most years. Red fruit, blood orange, mocha, spice, new leather and cedar build as this showy Saint-Julien opens in the glass."

J.M Quarin (February 2025): 93/100 "Beautiful dark red, intense. Very aromatic nose, with ripe fruit, subtle and slightly smoky when the glass is shaken. Juicy on the entry, very aromatic in the middle, with a fine fatness running across the palate, the wine evolves towards a long, sappy, flavoursome finish that leaves the mouth fresh (even at 9am!). A very good wine.Competing with the 2018 to be the best ever made."

The 2021 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2025): 93/100 “2021 is no exception, the wine is nicely structured, with notes of red fruit and a nice stretch on very polished tannins. The ageing is discreet. Esprit flatters with its immediate greediness and openness”.

Vinous (N. Martin - November 2023): 94/100 “ The 2021 Gloria, which contains a healthy slug of Petit Verdot (14%), has a clean and pure bouquet with black cherries, bilberry, cedar and crushed violet scents, almost Margaux-like in style. The oak is nicely integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with a graphite-tinged entry. This is quite a "vertical" Gloria, conservative in some ways, yet it does not compensate in terms of precision on the finish, and it feels reassuringly long on the aftertaste. There's good potential here.”

See the technical sheet

The 2022 vintage in the press:

Vinous (N. Martin – January 2026): 92+/100 “The 2022 Clos du Marquis has commendable fruit concentration: blackberry, bilberry and light estuarine scents, well defined with the oak neatly enmeshed. The palate is medium-bodied with fleshy, pliant tannins. Fine acidity, clean and crisp towards the finish. There is just a hint of warm alcohol on the aftertaste, but otherwise this will do nicely.”

La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2026): 96/100 "This 2022 is already making history! It imposes its pedigree and depth on many classified growths. From the nose with its notes of black fruit, one understands the depth of the wine. On the palate, it continues with a magnificent texture and masterful balance, resulting in a wine that is long, refined and powerful. Keep a few bottles for the decades to come."

Vinous (A. Galloni - January 2025): 93/100 "The 2022 Clos du Marquis is gorgeous. Resonant and quite expressive, it possesses notable textural depth and plenty of presence but never feels heavy. Inky dark-toned fruit, spice, new leather and licorice all flow across the palate. The 2022 will be an absolute delight to drink over the next 10-15 years."

J.M Quarin (February 2025): 93/100 "Dark, intense purple colour. The nose is moderately aromatic, with ripe, merlot-like fruit. Tender on the attack, suave on the mid-palate, the wine glides, caresses and finishes long, with a grain of coated tannin. It lacked a little sparkle." 

Bettane + Desseauve (Guide 2026) : 94/100

The 2019 vintage in the press:

Vinous (N. Martin - January 2023): 91+/100 “The 2019 Clos du Marquis needs a little more precision on the nose, dark berry fruit, cedar, touches of sage and crushed iris petals. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, quite pliant tannins Gentle grip, but there is certainly structure evident here with quite a tannic fisnish. This will needtime ine the cellar".

The 2015 vintage in the press :

En Magnum (September–October–November): 95/100 “The red and black fruits reveal an elegant profile that is already appealing. Deep and harmonious, the palate will gain even more complexity once the oak has fully integrated.”

The 2023 vintage in the press:

Vinous (A. Galloni – March 2026): 95/100 “The 2023 Lagrange is just as impressive as it was from barrel. Soaring aromatics meld into a core of brilliant red-toned fruit. This bright, sculpted Saint-Julien delivers on so many levels. In this tasting, it is exceptionally polished, vibrant and expressive.”

J-M Quarin (March 2026): 93/100 "Dark, intense, purple colour. Intense, fruity, pure and vanilla-scented nose. Meticulous on the attack, smooth on the palate, the wine develops elegantly, with a touch of harshness. This disappears on the finish, giving way to the aroma, which is just as well. Normal length."

Vinous (N. Martin - February 2026): 92/100 "The 2023 Lagrange was bottled at the end of June. It is understated on the nose, but it needs only two or three minutes before it reveals attractive blackberry, wild hedgerow, cedar wood and sous-bois scents. Very typical Saint-Julien style. The palate is well balanced with fine, chiselled tannins. Just the right amount of acidity keeps this on its toes, quite open and welcoming already, therefore I suspect that this will require only a couple of years in bottle before it's ready for action."

The 2022 vintage in the press:

Vinous (N. Martin – January 2026): 93/100 “The 2022 Lagrange has an intense nose with hoisin and blackcurrant scents, a little VA perhaps, though it calms down in the glass with touches of pencil box emerging. The palate is medium-bodied with soft tannins, though the acidity keeps this fresh and focused. Not the most powerful Saint-Julien but certainly one of the more elegant.”

Vinous (A. Galloni - January 2025): 94/100 "The 2022 Lagrange is a gorgeous, classy wine. Crushed flowers, mint, cinnamon and lavender meld into a core of bright red-toned fruit. Lagrange handled the rigors of the growing season well. I especially admire its precision and nuance. Lively floral and citrus notes lift the finish beautifully."

J-M Quarin (February 2025): 95/100 "Dark, intense, purple and lively colour. Very aromatic nose, with fresh, ripe fruit, perfectly matched to the oak. Full-bodied on the attack, delicately textured on the mid-palate, the wine glides and develops into a dense, slender, deep wine with a long, sappy finish. It's superb!"

The 2021 vintage in the press:

J-M Quarin (April 2022): 92/100 “Beautiful deep, dark color. Very aromatic nose, fine, fruity, fresh and ripe. Soft on the entry, juicy in the middle and as always very tasty, the wine caresses the palate, bursting with fruit. It finishes long, with a hint of ink and fleshy tannins. Very good."

Vinous (A. Galloni - December 2023): 94/100 “ The 2021 Lagrange turned out beautifully. Succulent red cherry, plum, cedar, tobacco, spice and mocha infuse the 2021 with gorgeous depth. Soft, succulent and inviting, Lagrange is wonderfully appealing. It will drink well with minimal cellaring.”

The 2020 vintage in the press:

Bettane et Desseauve (Guide 2024): 94/100

Vinous (N. Martin - December 2022): 94/100 “The bouquet is delicious and precise, with mineral notes of black fruits, touches of undergrowth and a subtle influence of the sea and oyster shell. The palate is detailed and mineral, very pure and harmonious, with a blend of red and black fruits, silky and impressively deep. This is quintessential Larange, very seductive and I bet it will be underrated by some. Not me.”

The 2023 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2027) : 94/100 “Langoa Barton relies above all on its seductive and smooth character. The palate, juicy and indulgent, centres on rounded fruit supported by particularly soft and silky tannins. Everything seems perfectly balanced, well-integrated and ready to drink now. A charming wine that is already a great pleasure to drink.”

Vinous (A. Galloni – March 2026): 93/100 “The 2023 Langoa Barton is all class. There's a bit more fruit density and mid-palate weight than in most vintages, but all the elements are so well balanced. Succulent red cherry/plum fruit, rose petal, pomegranate, mint and sweet spice flesh out in the glass. What an absolute delight.”

J-M Quarin (March 2026): 92/100 "Beautiful dark colour with purple highlights. Intense, pure, fruity, fresh and vanilla-scented nose. Delicate on the attack, tender on the mid-palate, the wine melts on the palate, pleasant and flavourful with normal body. Good length."

Vinous (N. Martin - February 2026): 92/100 "The 2023 Langoa Barton has a clean, well-defined, almost understated bouquet with blackberry, black plum and raspberry fruit, quite open and expressive. The palate is medium-bodied with finely wound tannins, graceful with ample weight on the mid-palate. No fireworks nor ostentation, lightly spiced with a cohesive finish, this Langoa Barton will age gracefully in bottle."

Bettane et Desseauve (Guide 2027) : 94/100

The 2022 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2026): 96/100 "Everything that makes this little wine so special is present in the 2022 vintage: its incredibly seductive character, its crisp fruit, its smooth tannins and its harmony. How can you resist this delicious juice and its delicate finish?"

Vinous (N. Martin - January 2025): 94/100 "The Langoa Barton has a wonderful bouquet that has really blossomed since I tasted it from barrel. There is still a trait of Margaux thanks to its wilted violet element, but there may be more graphite and tobacco tones now the wine is in bottle. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-boned tannins and precise, sensual finish. It's fresh and definitely a more elegant Langoa compared to recent vintages. Bon vin."

J.M Quarin (February 2025): 95/100 "Dark, intense and beautiful colour. And here is one of the most beautiful noses I know, intense, pure, fine and very fruity. Ultra-meticulous on the palate, refined to the touch, the wine melts into a velvety, juicy body, with deep, persistent aromas. Perfectly coated tannins. Hints of liquorice and black fruits. It's superb."

The 2021 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2025): 93/100 “True to its style, is delicious, melted and very refined, with silky tannins. ”

J.M Quarin (February 2024): 93/100

Vinous (N. Martin - November 2023): 93/100 “ The 2021 Langoa Barton comes in a specially designed, one-off, hand-drawn label and sustainable cardboard box instead of wood, to celebrate the bicentenary of family ownership. The aromatics have actually moved up a step since I tasted it from barrel: intense blackberry and wild strawberry fruit crushed violet and just a hint of eucalyptus. The oak is neatly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with surprisingly plush black fruit, a suave and harmonious Langoa with a dash of spice toward the finish. This is packed full of flavor and will be difficult to resist in its youth.”

Bettane + Desseauve (Guide 2026) : 91/100

The 2018 vintage in the press:

Vinous (A. Galloni - March 2021): 92/100 "The Langoa Barton is succulent and racy right out of the gate. Inky red fruit, sweet floral notes, cedar and spice all mesh together effortlessly. This mid-weight, pliant Saint-Julien is every bit as seductive as it was from barrel."

La Revue du Vin de France (November 2020): 93/100 “A material worked on delicacy and a fruitiness that remains bright. Already very seductive.”
