La Lagune
The vineyards of Chateau La Lagune were planted in 1724 and since produce fine Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The Chateau was classified in the fourteen Troisiemes Crus in the historic Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855. It is now under the formidable proprietress Caroline Frey, also responsible for the historic Paul Jaboulet Aine estate in the Rhone.

James Suckling (91)This is racy for a 2006 with plenty of tobacco, berries and hints of mushroom. Light, stylish earthy character. Medium to full body, fine tannins and a pretty finish with lovely tension. Drink or hold. |

James Suckling (96)This shows an enchanting nose of roses, violets and other flowers. It's also fruity but very subtle. A full-body, super-structured red with an excellent backbone of ripe yet firm tannins. Goes on for minutes. Don’t touch for five or six years. Try in 2019. |

Decanter (94)The nose is both direct and exotic with Asian spices, then an almost Mediterranean richness of flavour and La Lagune’s seductively smooth texture. An exciting wine; a real classic. |

Decanter (93)Now certified organic, and converting to biodynamics from this year. It displays a confident weight to the damson fruits that are hugely elegant and well placed. A little closed when tasted on two occasions, and the high Petit Verdot content of this wine is no doubt contributing to its slight austerity at this stage, but it also brings that beautifully welcome whoosh of black fruit spicing. Very good quality, elegant and long-ageing, just a dash below the exceptional 2015. |
