Focused and pure nose, with a touch of black cherry and a leafy lift. The palate is very classically structured, with firm yet fine tannins, good fruit levels, a touch of salinity and earth. Tricky to taste right now, but huge amounts of promise. 5-15 yea

Reviews
Vintage guide

The 2023 vintage looks good but the yields are down, some warm damp weather in summer means the Cabernets have out performed the more delicate Merlot. The wines of 2022 are excellent showing a lovely balance of ripeness and juiciness that give them great balance. The 2021 vintage has made wines that are medium bodied with good freshness, in a similar style to 2017. The 2020 vintage yielded wines that are aromatic and concentrated, quite big in structure with freshness and balance. The wines of 2019 are very concentrated, fresh, ripe and plentiful, all in all a very well regarded vintage. 2018 was a very good vintage in the end but mildew, hail, and a heatwave all served to reduce yields. The harvest across the region took place in near ideal conditions. 2017 is good in terms of quality but short on quantity, following frosts in the Spring that decimated certain properties. 2016 is a worthy successor to 2015, on a par qualitatively and looking very promising across all wine types. A hot summer but with cool nights has produced wines with fruit and freshness. 2015 is exceptionally good across the region for reds, especially the Right Bank, Pessac-Léognan, dry whites (better for Sauvignon than Sémillon) and sweeties: it is certainly the best vintage since 2010. 2014 is a very good Cabernet vintage, particularly in the Médoc where the wines are fresh with fine tannins. Overall, ripeness levels are good and so are quantities.

Château La Lagune

This is the most southerly class growth estate in the Médoc and one of the few not in one of the four famous communes.

Although it has a long history by 1958 the estate was on the verge of going out of existence until rescued by Georges Brunet who started the process of restoration. The estate passed to the Frey family in 2000 with Caroline Frey as winemaker who has continued the improvements and changed the style by reducing the amount of new oak used. The old barrels go to Jaboulet in the Rhône, which is now also owned by the Frey family. The wine is rich and substantial and ages well. The property achieved its organic certification from the 2016 vintage.
