The dry white wine of Lagrange, in a precise and pleasant style. As always in Lagrange, the quality/price ratio is there!
The 2019 vintage is rated 89/100 by Neal Martin “The 2019 Les Arums de Lagrange, the white cuvée from the Saint-Julien estate, offers attractive lime and yellow flower scents, a touch of almond in the background. The palate is nicely balanced with a dab of lemongrass on the entry. Moderate weight with discrete tropical notes sing from the wings on the finish.” (May 2020)
The most serious and regular of the great classified growths of Saint-Julien, and even of the Médoc. Whatever the vintage since 1986, Lagrange never disappoints, with a constancy and an accuracy that force respect!
The 2019 vintage in the press:
Bettane et Desseauve (Guide 2024): 95/100
Vinous (N. Martin - January 2023): 95/100 “The 2019 Lagrange has an open-knit, classic Saint-Julien nose with black fruit, chimney soot, tobacco, and a light sprinkling of white pepper. There is a little more earthiness here. The palate is understated and fleshy, gentle grip, more approachable than its peers, pure but without the same grip and backbone on the finish. Very seductive.”
J-M Quarin (March 2022): 94/100 “Bravo! Lagrange regains its Outsider position in this vintage.”
