Chateau La Lagune Haut Medoc 2009 750mL

In 1855, La Lagune joined the very strict circle of Grands Crus Classés and became the 3rd Grand Cru Classé.

The terroir of La Lagune is considered by the famous geologist René Pijassou as «the Medoc island model». The light gravel (pink, yellow and white quartz, calcite, agates) and silica diffuse the sunlight and help to give the Cabernet-Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot the grace, balance and finesse that characterise the wines of La Lagune.

Grape Varietals:

Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot

95 Points - Gilbert & Gaillard, March 2012. "Deeply-coloured. Nose of red and black fruits marked by toasted, cellar-like notes. Good structure on the palate, power, fullness, tightly-wound, refined texture and good length. Harmonious and robust across the palate, still backward in terms of aromatics. Firm finish."

94 Points - The Wine Cellar Insider, Jeff Leve, September 2019. "Menthol, leaf, spice, licorice and red pit fruit aromatics are already discernible in the nose. The medium bodied wine has turned the corner. Close to its prime time drinking window, the silky, perfectly ripe red fruits with their sweetness, purity and refinement are really starting to show their strengths."

92 Points - Falstaff, February 2020. "Dark ruby garnet, violet reflections, subtle ochre edge. Fresh orange zest, ripe heart cherries, a hint of dark berry fruit, delicate of precious wood, fine leafy spice. Medium complexity, sweet heart cherries, fine, ripe tannins, juicy fruit on the finish, fine minerality, has evolved well, is now good to drink and has further ripening potential."
