Chateau Lagrange a Pomerol 2017 Magnum

---

This is one of the earliest acquisitions by the Moueix family, purchased in 1953 from a Monsieur Pecresse who also owned… Château Trotanoy. Here the soil is also heavy clay but with a fair amount of gravel which perhaps gives this wine a sexier style than its noble, distant cousin. Whatever, it is a delectable wine in 2017, deep coloured and with a burst of bright red fruits on the nose, almost strawberried. The palate is more measured, with attractive silken fruit, fresh, medium density and excellent concentration and length.
