Cabernet at the core gives Les Fiefs de Lagrange 2012 a straight-backed feel, with dark berry fruit, a cool leafy edge and a clean, gravelly bite. The tannins are honest and lightly grippy rather than plush, making this a classic, no-frills St-Julien second wine that favours structure over flash.

Les Fiefs de Lagrange is the second wine of Château Lagrange, a 3ème Grand Cru Classé estate in Saint-Julien, crafted from roughly 30-year-old vines rooted in gravel and clay-limestone soils. Typically Cabernet Sauvignon–Merlot with a notable share of Petit Verdot, it mirrors the château’s elegant, structured Médoc style in a more approachable, early-drinking form, showing supple tannins, red and black fruit, and good ageing potential at a friendlier price than the grand vin.
