90 Points - Decanter. No ordinary Bordeaux Superieur, Chateau Lagrave Paran is nestled on a micro-property spanning approximately 3.5 hectares, this under-the-radar winemaker lavishes each vine with the utmost care, resulting in excellent wines year after year. The wine's soft, maturing black-currant fruits reflect the vintage's relative lightness, while oak aging gracefully smooths the tannins and imparts a final, juicy character.

Wine Press Ratings

90 Points - Decanter / Silver Medal (2019)

"Garnet in colour, with pronounced ripe blackberry and tomato leaf on the nose. Slate richness on the palate and finish, silky tannins with notes of pencil shavings, dark chocolate, and ripe red plums."

90 Points - Wine Enthusiast (2019)

"This estate, in the heart of the Entre-deux-Mers region, has produced a rich, ripe wine. Its black-currant flavors and layers of warm fruits are balanced by tannins that are now softening well. However, wait a bit and drink the wine from 2024."

Taste

The relative lightness of the vintage shows in the soft, maturing black-currant fruits in this wine. With oak aging smoothing the tannins and giving a final, juicy character.
