2013 Chateau Lagrange, 3rd Growth St. Julien
Drinking beautifully now, this exhibits dark red fruits, tobacco and spice. The palate is very classical, with toasted notes, moderate body and a very appealing freshness.

Inside Bordeaux
There were some moments of respite in St Julien but overall 2013 was a complicated vintage here as elsewhere, three weeks behind in flowering, and a summer that never really got going. It means that you’ll find less density than most in the lineup but this is appealing, with delicacy and a mouthwatering finish. Rose bud and green pepper notes alongside gentle raspberry and savoury black fruits. A year where the new cellar and the optical sorting were both essential, as were the 250 people working in the vineyard to bring the fruit in and sort it manually (more than double the typical number). Ready to drink. Yield 37hl/h, 60% new oak. Eric Boissenot consultant.

The 2013 Lagrange was picked from 30 September until 14 October. It has a simple earthy bouquet that lacks fruit concentration, especially in direct comparison to 2011 and 2012. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins for the finish, pastille-like red fruit with no signs of greenness towards what is a lithe and pretty red cherry finish. Easy-drinking yet deserving a “pass” given the dreadful growing season. Tasted at the Lagrange vertical at the estate.
