Château Lagrange 2015 St Julien (75cl)

Château Lagrange is a St Julien third growth, usually built mainly on Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot and a touch of Petit Verdot. The 2015 vintage is generally regarded as a solid, well-structured Bordeaux vintage, which tends to suit this style well. It works for a proper dinner or as a reliable name to include in a Bordeaux gift set. St Julien reds from a vintage like this typically show blackcurrant and cedar with firm tannins that usually settle down with a decant or a couple of years in bottle.
