2021 Château Lagrange Saint-Julien Red Wine
Hailing from the prestigious Saint-Julien appellation in Bordeaux, France, the 2021 Château Lagrange is a masterclass in balance and elegance. Crafted from a meticulous blend of 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot, this wine showcases the region’s terroir through layers of dark fruit, floral notes, and mineral complexity. Aged in French oak barrels—50% new—for 21 months, it delivers a polished texture with refined tannins that promise aging potential of over 15 years.

Critics rave about its quality: Jeb Dunnuck awarded 93 points, praising its “concentrated layers” and “gorgeous nose of blackcurrants and violets,” while Wine Advocate highlighted its “seamless depth” and record-high 84% Cabernet Sauvignon composition. Decanter noted its “fresh acidity” and “tannic frame,” underscoring its structure for long-term cellaring.

This mid-weight red offers immediate appeal with flavors of damson, bilberry, and graphite, evolving into a graceful finish. Perfect for collectors or enthusiasts seeking a sophisticated Bordeaux with both approachability now and aging potential, Lagrange’s 2021 vintage balances power and finesse. Pair it with rich meats or aged cheeses, or let it breathe to uncover its full complexity.

With 14.5% alcohol and a production limited to 39% of the estate’s output, each bottle reflects meticulous craftsmanship by winemaker Matthieu Bordes. Whether enjoyed young or cellared for decades, this Saint-Julien gem delivers exceptional value for Bordeaux enthusiasts.
