- DETAILS
| Long Description | : | Combination of dryness and cold. The growth cycle slowed down over the last weeks due to the drought which leaded us to a late picking. The harvest time was long and started in red on 29 September and ended on 20 October 2010 with up to 100 pickers. The blending consists of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot. "Lagrange’s relatively new winemaking team appears to have backed off the aggressive oak regime and the result is a wine with better overall balance. Still a backward, muscular/ masculine style of St Julien, it reveals abundant tannin along with a subtle hint of vanillin intermixed with lead pencil shaving, white chocolate, black currant and cassis characteristics. Although less expressive than some of its 2010 peers, it is a big, powerful, rich wine that needs a decade of cellaring. It should last for 30 years” (Robert Parker) |
