Chateau Lagrange, Saint-Julien 2020

95+ POINTS: Jeb Dunnuck
94 POINTS: Antonio Galloni, Vinous

"Coming from depressingly low yields of just 26 hectoliters per hectare (the lowest since 1991), the 2020 Château Lagrange checks in as 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, and 2% Petit Verdot that was raised in 60% new French oak. It's a gorgeous, complete Saint-Julien offering remarkable purity in its cassis, violets, chocolate, and leafy tobacco-like aromas and flavors. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, with terrific balance, a pure, focused mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and beautifully integrated oak, it's going to benefit from 4-6 years of bottle age and cruise over the following 2+ decades in cold cellars."
—Jeb Dunnuck

"The 2020 Lagrange is fabulous, just as it was from barrel. Super-ripe dark
cherry, plum, mocha, licorice, cedar and new leather are all amplified in this
gorgeous, striking Saint-Julien. Soft and racy, with no hard edges and
exceptional balance, Lagrange is a winner."
