critic reviews
The 2021 Lagrange is 100% Merlot. Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, it features vibrant scents of fresh raspberries and kirsch with suggestions of cardamom, Provence herbs, iron ore, and tree bark. Medium-bodied, the palate delivers impressive intensity of red berry flavors with firm, grainy tannins and a ferrous finish.
The 2021 Lagrange was picked 29 September to 4 October. It continues the success of the previous vintage with pure dark cherry, raspberry and rose petal scents on the nose and just a hint of black truffle. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly angular tannins, quite fresh with welcome salinity, even if it lacks the length of the nascent 2020. Fine.
Blackberry and black cherry fruit, clear wash of cloves to give an oak toast. A little slim overall through the mid palate. 9ha, Harvest September 29 to October 4.
Exhibiting aromas fo cherry pits, sweet red berries and plums, the 2021 Lagrange (Pomerol) is medium-bodied, firm and somewhat ephemeral.
