In the nose, impression of freshness. Attack very firm in mouth and increasing with an exceptional tannic richness. Powerful, smooth and harmonious tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBlend: 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProfessional Ratings\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e95James Suckling\u003cbr\u003e\nGreat nose of blueberries, spices and hints of walnuts. Full body, with a lovely finish of well-integrated tannins and a long, long finish. This is structured yet all in finesse. Best in years.\u003cbr\u003e\n94Decanter\u003cbr\u003e\nThis again is a brilliant St-Julien - full of joy and finesse and elegance. Black fruits and smoke combine with a slate minerality - I love it.This is also one that offers good value for money and will be a perfect match for food. Can drink now, or wait, and will age.\u003cbr\u003e\n93Wine Enthusiast\u003cbr\u003e\nWith vineyards in the west of Saint-Julien, Lagrange produces wines that are polished and elegant. In 2010, that style has been suffused with tannins while also delivering a black currant flavor. The wine is rich and ripe, with just the right amount of tannic structure for the fruit.\u003cbr\u003e\n93Wine \u0026amp; Spirits\u003cbr\u003e\nThis property, on the western plateau of St-Julien, includes 292 acres of vines on soils that vary from coarse to fine gravels, combined with sand or clay. Suntory purchased the property in 1983 and hired Marcel Ducasse, who restored it to prominence during his 24 years at the helm. Now run by Matthieu Bordes and Keiichi Shiina, Lagrange produces sleek wines. This is not a fat St-Julien, though their 2010 is succulent, opening over the course of several days to racy, dark plum fruit and a narrow course of tannins. Still youthful, this is approachable and lovely after long hours in a decanter, and it will reward patient cellaring.\u003cbr\u003e\n92Wine Spectator\u003cbr\u003e\nNotes of singed alder, graphite and charcoal wrap around the core of intense blackberry paste, warm plum sauce and currant preserves. Turns sleek and racy on the well-knit finish despite the notable grip. Best from 2015 through 2030.\u003cbr\u003e\n90Robert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDeep garnet in color, the 2010 Lagrange gives up notes of baked blackcurrants, stewed plums and fried herbs with nuances of crushed rocks and balsamic plus a touch of fungi. Full-bodied, the palate has a firm line of grainy tannins and fantastic freshness helping to define the black fruit and earthy flavors, finishing a little lifted.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chateau Lagrange","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68103652638944,"sku":"132515","price":154.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/files\/chateau-lagrange-saint-julien-grand-cru-classe_1_8b64bca1-fade-4c7e-891c-e3f2dece59c1.jpg?v=1792698661","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/chateau-lagrange-saint-julien-grand-cru-classe-2010-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
