Built on Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot and Petit Verdot in support, it offers the structure, finesse and ageing potential that have made Saint-Julien wines so admired over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, the wine typically shows a deep ruby core with youthful purple reflections. The bouquet leans toward blackcurrant, dark cherry, cedar, graphite and a subtle floral note, with hints of spice and fresh tobacco coming through with air.\n\nOn the palate, it is poised and precise, combining ripe dark fruit with fine-grained tannins, fresh acidity and a mineral-tinged finish. As a young vintage, it should feel elegant rather than overly powerful, and it has the backbone to evolve gracefully over the coming years, rewarding cellaring with more complexity and softness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProduced in Saint-Julien on Bordeaux’s Left Bank, Lagrange benefits from gravelly soils that naturally favor Cabernet Sauvignon and help produce wines with definition, drainage and aromatic lift. The vineyard’s blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot is harvested with careful attention to ripeness, then vinified in the traditional Bordeaux style to preserve fruit purity, structure and regional character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe at 16–18°C and, if opening young, consider decanting for 1–2 hours to let the wine open fully.
