Decanter 91Jane Anson - Plum colour with vivid raspberry highlights, gentle oak smoking, run towards an intense wall of tannins and smoked caramel notes, balanced by supple black fruits. Gourmet, intense, with appellation and vintage signature.
James Suckling 95-96
Very firm and focused with silky tannins, which are driven and intense. Full-bodied yet reserved and polished. Impressive finish for the estate with chocolate and light coffee bean. Pure merlot.
Wine Advocate 90-92
Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW "Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2022 Lagrange (Pomerol) rolls out of the glass with easy-breezy notes of red currant jelly, black raspberries, and fresh blackberries, followed by suggestions of aniseed and bay leaves. The medium to full-bodied palate is charged with energetic red berry flavors, framed by well-managed, approachable tannins and seamless freshness, finishing with a skip in its step. This is made from 100% Merlot."
Jancis Robinson 16.5
100% Merlot. Cask sample. Juicy and round with an expressive red-fruit aroma and flavour topped by a sliver of oak spice. Supple texture, fine tannins and a bit of length. Honest and pure. Should be GV. (JL)

Neal Martin "The 2022 Lagrange, the Pomerol estate not Saint-Julien, was picked 6-13 September, pure Merlot as usual. Fairly uncomplicated on the nose, one could argue that it feels a little monotone compared to its peers, though its purity of fruit should be applauded. There's almost a minty element to these aromatics. The palate is medium-bodied, and well balanced, with dark chocolate infusing the black fruit. Good weight with ample freshness on the finish. What it lacks in intellectual heft is compensated with a sense of joie-de-vivre. So much better than this estate was producing a decade ago."
Parker 90-92
Aromas of rich berries, cherries, spices and truffles introduce the 2022 Lagrange (Pomerol), a medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy wine that's deep and layered, its sweet core of fruit framed by powdery tannins.
