Château Lagrange 2015 is a distinguished red wine from the Saint-Julien appellation in Bordeaux’s renowned Médoc region. As a Grand Cru Classé, it exemplifies the finesse and complexity expected of the Left Bank’s finest. This vintage, like most from the château, is a blend typical to the region—predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot and a touch of Petit Verdot, though the exact proportions can vary annually. The 2015 growing season was marked by a warm, dry summer, producing grapes of exceptional ripeness and balance, translated in the wine’s powerful structure and elegant tannins. Vinification at Château Lagrange is meticulous, employing both traditional and modern techniques to preserve fruit purity while achieving age-worthy concentration, with élevage in French oak barrels enhancing depth and complexity.
The Saint-Julien AOC is treasured for its gravelly, well-draining soils, ideally suited to Cabernet Sauvignon, and a temperate maritime climate moderated by the nearby Gironde Estuary. These conditions encourage slow, even ripening, yielding wines with a celebrated equilibrium of power and refinement. With a history that traces back to the 18th century, the region has long been associated with wines of exceptional longevity and consistent quality, often considered the Bordeaux sweet-spot between the muscularity of Pauillac and the elegance of Margaux.
Château Lagrange 2015’s structure and aromatic palette favour robust culinary pairings. Classic matches from Bordeaux include entrecôte à la bordelaise, duck breast with a berry reduction, or roast lamb with thyme. Mature cheeses like aged Comté or firm English cheddar complement its tannins and dark fruit notes beautifully. For a regional twist, consider pairing with cèpes sautés or a traditional cassoulet.
To best appreciate the wine’s richness and aromatic complexity, decant for at least an hour before serving. Enjoy at a temperature between 16-18°C to bring out the layers of blackcurrant, cedar, and subtle spices. This vintage will continue to evolve in bottle, but is already offering immense pleasure for those seeking elegance and depth in a classic Médoc style.
