The 2025 Lagrange shows excellent potential, offering up notes of cassis, dark berries and violets, framed by a subtle touch of new oak. Medium- to full-bodied, deep and dense, with a concentrated core of fruit, sweet tannins and a long, penetrating finish, it's a blend of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot, checking in at 13.6% alcohol. Representing half the estate's production, its mid-palate depth and amplitude reflect the decision to harvest the estate's Cabernet Sauvignon late, between September 21 and October 10.
The 2025 Lagrange was cropped at an average of 30 hl/ha, lower for the Cabernet, with 13.56% alcohol. It was picked from September 8 until September 24 and matured in 60% new oak barrels. This has a sublime bouquet that actually reminds me of the 2020, beautifully defined with blackcurrant, iodine and touches of violet petals. The oak is very well integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with granular tannins, fine acidity, gentle but insistent grip. Quite compact towards the finish, this has a linearity that I really admire, imparting a sense of classicism and "coolness". This is an excellent Lagrange from Mathieu Bordes and his team. 2030 - 2060
BoAromas of blackberries, tar and a touch of violets. Medium- to full-bodied with good concentration and expressive dark fruit, framed by firm, fine-grained tannins and a persistent finish.
Enjoyably sleek, another great vintage of Lagrange, delivers dark chocolate, coffee bean, precise, fine but plentiful tannins, edges of clear squid ink on the finish, good stuff. Yield 32 hl/ha. 50% new oak. 2034-2044.
The 2025 Lagrange is bold, explosive and full of life. Broad, supple contours envelop the palate, releasing layers of dark-toned fruit, cedar, mocha, dried herbs and espresso. The 2025 builds nicely, gaining volume and persistence over time. This is a strong showing. Tasted two times. 2030-2045.
