For the grand vin of Lagrange, grapes are hand-picked into small crates and then sorted both manually and by an optical sorting machine. Traditional Bordeaux vinification is carried out in 92 temperature-controlled stainless steel vats of varying capacities, thus allowing a separate vinification to respect the character of each plot and soil-type. Placing all or part of a given plot into its own vat also allows harvest at optimum ripeness.

Total vatting time, determined by tasting, varies from 16 to 28 days, depending on the tannic development in the fermenting wines. Temperature of fermentation never exceeds 28°C to guarantee preservation of the finesse and fruitiness. Selection of press wine is performed “barrel by barrel“ allowing a wider choice range during the blend tastings.

The wines are blended only a few months after harvest, to achieve a better harmonization of the tannins and plot origins. The wines are aged 20 months in French oak barrels, of which 60% are new, and racked every 3 months.

The 2022 Lagrange St Julien is a Bordeaux Blend, consisting of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, and 2% Petit Verdot. This French red wine hails from the Bordeaux region, specifically the St Julien sub-region. It is sealed with a cork closure and showcases a deep garnet-purple color.

Jeff Leve from TheWineCellarInsider.com awarded the wine a score of 96, describing it as "deep in color" with a nose reminiscent of "walking into a flower shop carrying a basket of fresh-picked berries." He notes that the wine is "silky, fresh, polished, elegant, and deep," with soft tannins and waves of fruit and freshness in the finish. Leve also highlights that Lagrange has been on a hot streak since the 2016 vintage, and the 2022 continues this trend. He suggests drinking it from 2027 to 2055.

Jeb Dunnuck, scoring the wine 94 points, describes it as "mid-weight" and "nicely balanced and certainly elegant." He points out that the wine has a "pretty nose of cassis and black raspberry fruits" with floral and spicy nuances, and that its oak is well integrated. Dunnuck suggests that the wine may put on weight over the course of its élevage.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate matches Leve's score of 96, calling the 2022 Lagrange "brilliant" and one of the finest recent vintages from this estate. William Kelley notes the wine’s "aromas of dark cherries, cassis, violets and pencil shavings," and describes it as "medium to full-bodied, velvety and layered." Kelley emphasizes the wine's "deep core of fruit" and its "beautifully refined but youthfully assertive tannins."

James Suckling, who rated the wine 95 points, highlights its "blueberry and blackberry character," and praises its tannin structure that "unfolds at the finish."

Jane Anson also gave a score of 96, praising the wine’s depth and restraint. She describes it as having "gorgeous cassis, bilberry and fresh cherry pit seduction," with a build-up of tannins and clear aging potential.

Vinous awarded the wine the highest score of 97 points. Neal Martin notes its "clinical bouquet" of blackberry and blueberry fruit, and lauds its "extremely pure" palate with cashmere tannins and a "fine-boned finish."

Lastly, The Wine Independent scored it 96 points, highlighting its "bombastic notions of creme de cassis, blackberry preserves, and redcurrant jelly," along with nuances of "cinnamon stick, clove oil, star anise, and violets."
