A quiet vintage
This isn't the flashy Saint-Julien Lagrange. This is Pomerol—clay, Merlot, and mystery. Château Lagrange in Pomerol is a small, often overlooked estate, with a production so discreet you’d miss it if you blink. The 1992 vintage? Let’s be honest—nobody is putting it on posters. Yet this bottle proves that time and terroir can conspire to surprise.
Tasting note
Notes of leather, dried cherry, and forest floor. Tertiary tones dominate, but there’s a soft sweetness still lingering. The texture? More silk than structure, but still charming.
Fun fact
There are two Château Lagranges in Bordeaux—one in Saint-Julien (Grand Cru Classé), the other here in Pomerol. The confusion is so common that importers used to sticker the labels just to avoid shipping errors.
Score 87/100
A small note on our tasting impressions:
Many of the wines we taste come from bottles that aren’t quite sale-worthy—levels a bit low, labels too distressed, or simply not pretty enough for the spotlight. While we love the character these bottles bring, our notes are not based on a single glass alone. They reflect years of tasting experience—both within our team and from trusted friends in the wine world.
As for the fun facts?
All true (we promise)… though possibly enhanced by the gentle glow of a good glass of wine.
