Château La Lagune
Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend
Haut-Médoc, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
This is delicious.
Showing a beautiful nose with an elegant mouthfeel.
A blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot and Petit Verdot.
This 9 year old from the great 2015 is very impressive. I had the 2007 a few years ago, and it did not show as well as this.
92 points.

The 2015 La Lagune is terrific. Powerful and dense on the palate, with big, potent tannins, it will need at least a few years to fully come together. Hints of tobacco, cedar, licorice and smoke add shades of aromatic nuance. This is a fabulous effort. Don't miss it. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, February 2018)

Has long history that dates back to the 16th century, under King Henri IV. In 1999, Chateau La Lagune was sold to the Frey family, and 2000 was their first vintage. A blend of 60% Cab Sauv, 35% Merlot & 5% Petit Verdot, aged 14 months in French, 50% new. Aromas of fruits, floral and earthy notes. On the palate cherry and sweet plum flavors, notes of cacao and licorice with underlying freshness. Fine tannins, tight needed more time, great mouthfeel, lingering ending with oak & tart fruits. Very nice!

After my rating of the wine two nights ago with the thought that it would pair well with Coq Au Vin, I couldn’t help myself and decided to cook some up. Pairing works very nicely together.

Nov 14th, 2024Brick colored with a nose of blackberry, anise, a bit of raspberry, and slight flower bouquet maybe even potpourri. Good structure still in this wine. Tannins are still present. Definitely a more earthy, old world wine. Would pair nicely with Coq au vin.

Medium ruby , quite thin garnet rim . Quite dense slightly deeper , meaty notes . Touches of earthy , mineral notes . Quite rich with sweet fruit , dusty cassis , blackberry, touch of toasty oak. Quite gritty tannin , and enough acidity to balance , bit of alcoholic warmth noticeable. Medium length , probably needs more time , better in 3-5 years and will last well a further 5-10 years

Merry Christmas from Jim. Tasting 3 left bank Bordeaux. This is #1 and a great way to start! Deep ruby color. Plum snd cherry in nose. Same fruit on palate plus licorice and cocoa. Excellent complexity. Awesome wine.
