The 2012 Château Lagrange is firm and balanced with flavors of blueberries, blackberries, and hints of citrus and minerals. Its medium body and fine tannins lead to a fresh finish. The wine offers a fine expression of Cabernet fruit with subtle oak, showing elegance and depth. Though youthful, it has a harmonious structure that will develop well with age, benefiting from a few more years of cellaring. A solid representation of St-Julien, it offers a long, impressive finish.

Fine expression of Cabernet fruit, a little discreet in the Lagrange style, with elegance and depth for the future.

Soft berry and blackcurrant fruit with background earth and subtle oak is present in this medium-bodied, slightly austere and angular style of wine. It will benefit from another 2-3 years of cellaring and should keep well for 12-15 years.

Tasted blind. Mid crimson. Suggestion of somewhat plump fruit on the nose. Solid representative of the appellation. Unapologetically youthful but all the elements are there. Quite long.

THE VINTAGE
A complex climate characterized by cold in February, dryness in February, March, August, September, and by heavy rains in April, June and October. 

TASTING NOTES
Dark red with tangy notes of cassis and black cherry, the nose is very expressive. The palate is silky, smooth, almost creamy. A very harmonious and balanced wine that impresses with the characteristic elegance of the vintage.
