Parker 90-92The 2018 Lagrange (Pomerol), made from 100% Merlot, has a medium to deep garnet-purple color and opens with understated red and black cherries, baked plums and mulberries scents giving way to expressive camphor, wild thyme, cracked pepper and damp soil notes. Medium-bodied, the palate is firm and grainy with freshness and restraint, giving glimpses at provocative earthy layers to come, finishing minerally.
James Suckling 93-94/100
This is linear and tight with a very compact palate of ripe fruit and fine-grained tannins that together deliver a racy and polished young wine.
Jancis Robinson 16.5/20
100% Merlot. Barrel sample. Deepest crimson with purple rim. There's more wild fruit here than on the Ch de Bel-Air just tasted – elderberry – but also more complexity with a cedary quality and even slightly floral. Rich and dense, concentrated fruit but the tannins have a little more grip than on Puy-Blanquet, for example. Lots of oak spice on the finish. Generous but not particularly refreshing, really concentrated. (JH) Drink 2023-2030
Decanter 93/100
This is lovely - powerfully aromatic right from the off, it’s clearly well-structured with tannins and a good acidity alongside dark fruit flavours, from damsons to loganberries, but not overly sweet. This is a fairly savoury and masculine take on the vintage, as the Moueix wines often are - they fly in their own universe and make wines with real impact and longevity. Drinking Window 2026 - 2038
