Made from grapes grown on the gravelly chalky & clay soil of the hills overlooking the Dordogne. Gives off intense aromas of red & black fruit. Intense aromas of forest fruits smooth & generous on the palate opening brightly & lingering on a long finish.

Notes of ripe currants and black cherries with dried flowers, leafy herbs and walnut. Medium- to full-bodied, chewy and structured with velvety tannins and a firm, but refreshing finish.

Has a floral, cassis, & black raspberry-driven style that shows more tobacco & classic limestone minerality with time in the glass. It's medium to full-bodied, has fine tannins, & the balance & class to evolve for 10-15 years.

Deep purple-black colored, vibrant notes of crushed black cherries & raspberries, hints of wild blueberries, chocolate box & cardamom with a touch of violets. Medium to full-bodied palate is chock-full of crunchy, energetic black & red fruits
Plush and spicy black fruit on the palate with very nice backbone, complexity, structure and length. Fine depth. The wine has concentration, round textures and a dark, fruity finish. The wine was produced from 100% old vine
Merlot.

This wine has a broad brush of tannins that give energy & subtle texture to the palate. Beautiful blue fruit & terracotta. Really fine-grained tannins. Beautiful, sweet fruit at the finish. One of the best I have had from here.

Very solid, with a core of lightly steeped plum and blackberry fruit, supported by a streak of iron and framed by smoldering tobacco and dark earth notes. Good energy throughout as well, with a mouthwatering echo at the end. Best from 2023.

Really clear aromas of blackcurrants and blackberries with dried flowers and sandalwood. It’s full-to medium-bodied, yet with very tight, refined tannins that run the length of the finish. Second wine of Lagrange. Very well done. Best after 2024
A rich nose of black fruit aromas. Blackberry & cherry going on to reveal spicy notes of black pepper & gingerbread combined with rose & peony overtones.
