A blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon 26 % Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc the 2019 Château La Lagune is a smoking little wine that should be snatched up by readers. Offering loads of gorgeous blue and black fruits leafy herbs tobacco and cedar notes medium to full body and present yet ripe tannins this textured balanced beauty will benefit from 2-4 years of bottle age and evolve for 15-20 years or more. It's well w

Plenty of chocolate tobacco and blackcurrant character on the nose. It?s full-bodied with chewy tannins that are polished and present. Long and intense. This is rather tight and mouth-puckering. Give it time to soften. Very structured. From organically grown grapes. Better after 2025.

Wafting from the glass with aromas of cherries wild berries and cassis mingled with hints of dark chocolate pencil shavings and violets the 2019 La Lagune is medium to full-bodied broad and sensual its ample core of fruit framed by polished tannins and succulent acids. In its elegant generous style it's reminiscent of a modern-day version of the brilliant 1990. One of the Médoc's southernmost and most precocious sites La Lagune occupies two domes of fine gravel some 1.5 meters deep that becomes sandier in the vineyard's lower-lying sectors. The trend when replanting has been for Cabernet Sauvignon to displace Merlot on the prime sectors of the vineyard and farming is organic (certified from 2020 on) with cover crops and less frequent mechanical cultivation than in the past. Winemaking is classical with gentle pump-overs and the press wine is carefully selected before inclusion. In the cellar maturation occurs with some 50% new oak. The result is a rather sensual seamless wine with plenty of fleshy charm and fine aging potential and the 2019 has turned out extremely well.
Vinous: 91-93 Points
The 2019 La Lagune is superb. Medium in body yet beautifully resonant the 2019 is understated at first but opens up with a bit of time in the glass. Dark red cherry red plum licorice mint blood orange and dried flowers add striking layers of nuance. The 2019 is a gorgeous La Lagune. I loved it.
