Colour

Dark, intense purple red.

Nose

Delicate and subtle aromas, fruity and floral notes, mineral and spicy nuances, scents of raspberry, blueberry and peppermint.

Palate

Dense and fresh, with elegant, creamy and powerful tannins, this is a wine with beautiful personality, rich and balanced. The finish is fruity and persistent.

Wine-growing terroir

The Château Lagrange vineyard covers 118 hectares in a single block, planted on two gravelly hilltops facing north-south. The soils are siliceous gravel over a clay-limestone subsoil. The vines benefit from a temperate, oceanic climate.

Winemaking

Selective harvesting, separate vinification by grape variety, vine age, terroir and grape ripeness in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats at 26-28°C for 18 to 25 days, daily pumping over, racking or punching down, malolactic fermentation. Blending of grape varieties in January, ageing for 21 months in oak barrels (50% new wood). Final blending before bottling.

Jean-Marc Quarin Once again, the estate has produced a very good wine. ‘We knew how to wait,’ says Mr Raymond, the cellar master. The colour is very dark. The nose is fruity, ripe and fresh. The wine caresses the palate on entry. It develops very fruity and rather full-bodied in this vintage. It shows power and energy. Very nice, savoury finish, melting with a taste of liquorice. The freshness and density are exemplary for the year. Selection: 38% of the harvest. Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon 68%, Merlot 25%, Petit Verdot 7%, alcohol content: 13%. AT: 3.35. PH: 3.77. IPT: 76. Yield 50 hl/ha. March 2008.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Tasted at the UGC in London. There is a sense of exuberance on the nose: black berries, wild strawberry, cedar, a touch of Asian spice coming through. Great lift and intensity. The palate is medium-bodied, ripe black fruits, good structure with a firm, quite masculine finish with just a hint of tobacco and spice. Very good for the vintage. Classy. Tasted November 2009.

Wine Enthusiast With its dusty tannins and bright fruits, this fully represents the vintage. It has a texture that is open, relatively gentle, powered by black currants and very accessible. The acidity gives a light lift at the end. Roger Voss.
