This Third Growth estate is planted to 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot and 7% Petit Verdot, with an average age of vines of 30 years. Perfectly situated adjacent to Gruaud Larose, the estate has been turning out very good to excellent wines in the last 25+ years. Although the wine is rich and structured making it age well, it can also be drunk fairly young in most vintages due to its ripe, sultry fruit.

Wine AdvocateDeep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Lagrange sashays out of the glass with notions of candied violets, cassis, underbrush and warm black plums with waves of Black Forest cake, cedar chest and yeast extract scents. Medium to full-bodied, the bags of perfumed black fruits are solidly structured with super ripe, grainy tannins, finishing long and layered.

VinousThe 2016 Lagrange has a tightly knit, focused bouquet of intense blackberry, briar and cedar aromas. This is impressive, and it gains intensity with aeration. The medium-bodied palate delivers grainy tannin, a fine bead of acidity and a vivacious, spicy, almost peppery finish. One of the most powerful Lagrange that I have tasted. A Saint-Julien that is consistently underrated, this 2016 will give a great deal of pleasure over the next 30-plus years. Neal Martin

Wine SpectatorA textbook St.-Julien, with a fleshy yet focused beam of plum, blueberry and cassis flavors striding through, while warmed anise, sweet tobacco and iron notes play backup through the finish. Mouthwatering grip will allow this to cellar nicely. Best from 2024 through 2038. 20,833 cases made.
