This is a 1998 Third Growth Saint-Julien from the highest ground in the appellation, and it was made as Suntory's long rebuild of the estate was starting to pay off. After Suntory took over Lagrange, it brought in Marcel Ducasse, a graduate of the Bordeaux Institute of Oenology, to restructure the whole property. The first ten years went to an ambitious renovation, and the full rebirth took more than thirty years of investment. That puts the 1998 at an interesting point: the estate was making serious wine again. The vineyard is a single 118-hectare block on the west side of Saint-Julien, spread over two slopes of Gunzian gravel, one of which holds the appellation's highest point. Today the estate is planted mostly to Cabernet Sauvignon, with Merlot and a little Petit Verdot. Older classified Left Bank Bordeaux rarely comes at a sensible price, but Lagrange has long sat a little under the radar compared with its more famous neighbors. Stand the bottle upright a day before you open it, and decant gently.

More about Chateau Lagrange

It sounds like a corporate takeover, but when the Japanese arrived in Saint-Julien in 1983, they were serious. Lagrange is now one of the most consistent Third Growths on the Left Bank—reliably elegant, age-worthy, and honest. No shortcuts, just good Bordeaux.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Roast leg of lamb with rosemary and garlic, beef Wellington, roast duck with cherries, wild mushroom risotto, or aged Comté.

Tasting Profile

Expect the classic Saint-Julien profile: blackcurrant and plum with cedar, graphite and tobacco, on a medium- to full-bodied frame with firm but polished tannins and fresh acidity. With age, wines in this style typically soften and pick up leather, earth and dried-fruit notes, finishing dry, savoury and long.
