Chateau Lagrange 2015, St. Julien (1x75cl)

Lagrange is a St Julien third growth, usually built mainly on Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot and a touch of Petit Verdot. 2015 is generally regarded as a solid, well-structured Bordeaux vintage, which tends to suit this style well.

Works for a proper dinner or as a reliable name to include in a Bordeaux gift set.
