Lagrange 2008 is a classic Left Bank Cabernet-dominant blend from Saint-Julien hailing from a vintage known for its freshness and precise structural integrity. The palate is medium-bodied and tightly structured defined by firm high-toned tannins and a precise acidity. Flavours are focused showing red plum pencil lead and dried herb notes. It is a wine built on classic linearity and structural definition that demands bottle age to fully integrate its firm components.
