Tasting Notes

The 2021 is 100% Merlot as always, and was harvested from 29th September to 4th October. Deep ruby colour with a silky red cherry and plum tones. The palate has a lick of sweet spice prominent throughout, but the bright acidity and vivid cherry fruit keep everything nicely balanced. The finish has a darker tone, with dark plums layered by coffee and dark chocolate. This is a supple and moreish showing of 2021.

The 2021 Lagrange is 100% Merlot. Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, it features vibrant scents of fresh raspberries and kirsch with suggestions of cardamom, Provence herbs, iron ore, and tree bark. Medium-bodied, the palate delivers impressive intensity of red berry flavors with firm, grainy tannins and a ferrous finish.
