Vinous – Neil Martin – 95-97/100
The 2022 Lagrange was picked between 8 and 30 September, it ages in
60% new oak for a planned 21 months. It has an almost clinical bouquet,
with very well defined blackberry and blueberry fruit, graphite and
crushed stone. Quite a gap in quality between this and the Fiefs de
Lagrange this year. The palate is extremely pure with cashmere tannins,
black cherry fruit infused by blood orange, lightly spiced, hints of white
pepper toward a very concentrated, fine-boned finish. This will require
several years in bottle, but it will be worth waiting for. A serious and very
able Lagrange that should not be under-estimated.

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate – 94-96+/100
The 2022 Lagrange is brilliant, ranking alongside the 2020, 2019 and 2016 as one of this over-performing estate’s finest recent vintages. Revealing aromas of dark cherries, cassis, violets and pencil shavings, it’s medium to full-bodied, velvety and layered, with a deep core of fruit, beautifully refined but youthfully assertive tannins and a long, mouthwatering finish. It’s a blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot with a very healthy pH of 3.63.
