Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2021) 4*Stars (Top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)
About the domain :
Like its neighbor Gruaud-Larose, this vast, homogeneous vineyard has seen its vines age and develop an intensity unknown to great wine, while over the last three years, thanks to the efforts of its current technical team, it has refined its style. His wine is a straightforward, classic, almost mineral expression of Saint-Julien's finest soils, and he confesses an undeniable community of flavor and style with léoville-las-cases, which is no small compliment. Excellent value for money.
Guide des Vins Gault & Millau
Estate rated 5*Stars (Outstanding production)
About the domain :
It's often thanks to the will of the owner that Bordeaux châteaux manage to find their expression. Lagrange was unlucky, changing owners frequently. It wasn't until the arrival of the Japanese Suntory group in 1983 that Lagrange received the full attention it deserved: a new vineyard, a new winery and, above all, a crack team led by Marcel Ducasse - replaced in 2007 by Bruno Eynard, who had assisted him for 17 years. The new vat room is now used for even more sophisticated parcel-based vinification.

About the domain :
Acquired by the Japanese Suntory group in 1983, the château has rapidly established itself as a dependable and consistent name in the appellation, producing elegant, well-crafted wines that are always affordable. This vast estate is run in a serious manner, but its latest vintages, while not demeriting, have seemed a little less convincing. In a highly competitive world, with neighbors who leave no stone unturned to produce the greatest possible wines, Lagrange seems a little static, which leads us to withdraw its star.
