A polished and approachable Saint-Julien, the 2023 Les Fiefs de Lagrange opens with aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry and plum layered with notes of cedar, tobacco and subtle spice. On the palate it is medium- to full-bodied, combining ripe dark fruit with fine tannins and fresh acidity that brings balance and structure. Hints of graphite, cocoa and savory earth linger through the smooth, refined finish. Pairs well with roast lamb, grilled steak, duck breast and aged cheeses.
