The 2005 vintage in Bordeaux was iconic, with St-Julien producing wines that are notably sophisticated, well-structured, and meant for aging. The 2005 Lagrange, however, is currently showing exceptionally well, filled with berry fruit flavors and balanced by earthy tobacco and cedar nuances. Post-acquisition by Suntory in 1983, Chateau Lagrange underwent significant investments and improvements throughout the 1990s and 2000s, solidifying its reputation as a reliable and esteemed wine producer known for consistently great wines.
