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.

Wine Advocate (88)The 1978 La Lagune remains deep in color, with no sign of maturity. The expansive bouquet suggests roasted nuts, plums, and fresh new oak. On the palate, the wine is tannic, but lush and silky, with oodles of fruit present. It has been slow to evolve, and at its age, still tastes young and vigorous. Anticipated maturity: Now-2005. Last tasted, 12/89. |
