Description

Over the next quarter of a century, it will be interesting to see how this 2008 matches up with La Lagune’s prodigious 2005, the finest wine they have ever made. The opaque ruby/purple-tinged 2008 may be the second greatest wine yet produced here. Displaying sweet kirsch, black currant, cedar, smoke, and graphite aromas as well as an impressive thickness and glycerol richness, and a pure, nuanced character (because of the grapes’ long hang-time and the small yields), this remarkable effort is long, textured, and impeccably well-balanced. Give it 2-3 years of cellaring and drink it over the following 20-25. Robert parker (92-94)

Château La Lagune is a distinguished wine estate situated in the Haut-Médoc appellation of Bordeaux, France. With a history dating back to the 16th century, the estate has garnered acclaim for its production of high-quality red wines. Encompassing approximately 80 hectares, the vineyard benefits from gravelly and sandy soils, ideal for nurturing Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot grapes. Château La Lagune's wines are renowned for their elegance, complexity, and aging potential, showcasing ripe fruit flavors, refined tannins, and a distinctive Haut-Médoc character. Classified as a Third Growth (Troisième Cru) in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification, the estate continues to maintain its legacy of excellence under the ownership of the Frey family. Château La Lagune stands as a testament to the rich heritage and tradition of winemaking in the Haut-Médoc region, producing wines that are celebrated by enthusiasts worldwide.
