2025, Château Lagrange, SAINT-JULIEN, 3ème Grand Cru Classé

3rd growth 1855

This château is the largest of all the classed growths with 117 hectares of vines. Top quality Saint Julien has been produced here since the late 1980s

2025 is 77%  Cabernet Sauvignon, with 18% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot. 

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.
94-96 William Kelley, Wine Advocate, April 2026

The 2025 Lagrange 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
93-95 Neal Martin, Vinous.

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. 50% new oak. 2034-2044.
