What reviewers say
“Les Fiefs de Lagrange 1999 is a classic Saint-Julien with beautifully developed aromas and a complex flavor profile. Refined notes of leather, cigar box, and aged cassis, complemented by subtle hints of cedarwood and dried herbs.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Lively, intense color, without premature evolution. The nose has a fine, elegant character with aromas of ripe fruit and slightly woody notes. In the mouth, the balance is long and consistent. The aftertaste brings out the purity of the fruit thanks to moderate tannins.

How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Château Lagrange Les Fiefs de Lagrange Saint-Julien lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Red · Francia (72 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 5,136.
