Château Lagrange de pomerol, Bordeaux, France 2014

Chateau Lagrange lies to the northern part of Pomerol, in the Libournais in the Bordeaux wine region. I found this wine very pleasant with the classic Merlot nose popping out. Be in mind there are three Bordeaux Chateaux called Lagrange - one in Saint-Julien, one in Graves and the other in Pomerol

Château Lagrange From Pomerol  is an estate purchased in 1953 by Jean-Pierre Moueix Vins, the well reputated Petrus producer. Lagrange does not have its own winery, and the wines are made at Château Trotanoy. 

The grapes are sorted using hi-tech laser the .Then grapes fermented into tanks where the Malolactic fermentation takes place, before the must is sent to the basket presses. The wine is aged in small oak barrels for 18-24 months with around one quarter new wood.

Delightful expression of the lighter style of Pomerol wines, approachable in its youth

Drink well now up to 2030

Tasting note: Full bodied. blueberry and some green pepper with a grainy rustic palate and a thin coat of tannins

Wine Advocate-Parker :
The 2014 Lagrange has indeed pulled its socks up, as I opined when I tasted the wine from barrel. Now in bottle, it has a conservative, tertiary nose with introverted black fruit mixed with cedar and sandalwood aromas. It feels tight at the moment but there is satisfying focus here. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin on the entry, though the Merlot component becomes more prominent towards the finish and offers a lovely fleshy, poised finish with a dab of black pepper on the aftertaste. Modest but stylish Lagrange, which is exactly what you expect.
