Jeb Dunnuck (95)A serious and impeccably made wine, the 2023 Château Lagrange is cut from the same cloth as the Les Fiefs yet has more of everything. Pure crème de cassis, graphite, spicy wood, and assorted floral nuances all shine on the nose, and it's medium to full-bodied on the palate, with a layered, graceful mouthfeel and polished tannins. Based on 84% Cabernet Sauvignon and 16% Merlot and aged 21 months in 50% new barrels with the balance in second-fill oak, this is a classic, beautifully done Saint-Julien that will keep for 20-30 years. Tasted multiple times with consistent notes. Drink 2029-2056. |

Jeb Dunnuck (97)The flagship from a 7-acre parcel in the estate vineyard, the 2016 Cahors Le Pigeonnier is another Pomerol look-alike with its beautiful bouquet of black cherries, blueberries, damp earth, white chocolate, and exotic spices. As with all these 2016s, it’s a ripe, powerful, opulent wine that doesn’t pull any punches, yet always stays balanced, elegant, and remarkably fresh. Made from 100% Malbec aged two years in new French oak, it builds beautifully with time in the glass, has a deep, layered mid-palate, and a blockbuster finish. It’s possibly the finest Cahors I’ve ever tasted and would pass undetected in a blind lineup of top Napa Cabernets. While it’s no doubt beautiful today, I suspect it will develop even more nuance and complexity with 3-4 years of bottle age and keep for 15-20 years. |

Dried apricot, marzipan, chamomile and lightly honeyed accents fill out the layers gracefully. There's a lot to admire in Les 7, starting with its understated complexity and dynamic energy.

Jeb Dunnuck (94)From a single plot of western exposition and fermented and aged in barrels, the bright yellow 2019 Champagne Premiere Cru Blanc De Blancs Les Grandes Crayères Extra Brut is fresh and lifted with mineral character, offering notes of chalky freshness, bright lemon balm, delicate toasted incense, and fresh apple. Medium-bodied and focused, this age-worthy wine is all about its mineral texture and fine, focused mousse. There’s fantastic definition to the wine and a long persistence through the finish, with a hint of warmth. Angular and bright, it commands another couple of years in the cellar. The wood never feels heavy or even very noticeable at this point and will likely help to round this out if stored properly and given time. Drink 2025-2045. Disgorged November 2022. 2 grams per liter dosage. |
