This vintage owes its richness to the "great" Cabernets (76% of the blend). The color is dense and deep, very purple. The very complex nose marries finesse and mature fruit without heaviness. In the mouth, this balance is very elegant, longer than thick, harmonious, with racy, lasting tannins. This is a long-keeping wine.

Extremely well-done. Beautifully aromatic, with coffee, cedar and blackberries on the nose. Full-bodied, with fine tannins and a mineral, blackberry aftertaste with medium fine tannins. I haven't had a Lagrange of this quality in years. Best after 2010. 25,000 cases made.
Wine Advocate

An impressive performance by Lagrange, the 2000 possesses a saturated ruby/purple color with obvious notes of melted licorice, creme de cassis, and toasty new oak. This ripe, dense, full-bodied St.-Julien is chewy, thick, high in tannin, large-bodied, and impressively long and dense. As always, it is less expressive than some of its peers, but it is loaded as well as reasonably priced. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2030.
