"An impressive vintage"
"Once again, La Lagune lives up to its reputation. From the outset, this 2015 impresses with its deep, almost black color, sparkling with a thousand reflections. Equally superb, the aromas of ripe red fruits, blackcurrant, and licorice are in perfect harmony with subtle woody notes. Supported by dense, rich tannins, the palate offers impressive volume and a smooth evolution towards a concentrated, long and harmonious finish. A delicious Haut-Médoc that will keep well for a long time." (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2019) - Delivery in wooden cases is available for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on the country and shipping method selected).

Wine rated 16/20 (Very good wine)
Rated estate (2022 guide) 3 stars (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)
About wine:
A little more severe than two years ago, but with the same qualities of freshness and beautiful maturity of Cabernet Sauvignon, yet by nature less fruity than its peers, which slightly disadvantages it in blind tastings.
About the estate:
La Lagune has not been rewarded by the weather in recent vintages for its courageous organic viticulture. Under the supervision of its administrator, Caroline Frey, the wine has progressed well in recent years, with blends containing a higher percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon and more elegant tannin extractions. It just keeps getting better and better.

About wine:
Once again, La Lagune lives up to its reputation. Right from the start, this 2015 impresses with its deep, almost black color, sparkling with a thousand reflections. Equally superb, the aromas of ripe red fruit, blackcurrant, and licorice are in perfect harmony with subtle woody notes. Supported by dense, rich tannins, the palate offers impressive volume and a smooth evolution towards a concentrated, long, and harmonious finish. A delicious Haut-Médoc that will keep well for a long time.
About the estate:
The first classified growth encountered by visitors arriving from Bordeaux via the Médoc wine route, this château was purchased in 2000 by Jean-Jacques Frey, a businessman who already owned prestigious estates in Champagne and the Rhône Valley. La Lagune has long been renowned for its elegant 18th-century charterhouse, superb cellars, vast vineyard (110 hectares, including 75 for the grand vin) and prime terroir of fine sandy gravel. All these assets are enhanced by a dynamic team led by Caroline Frey, the owner's daughter and the estate's oenologist since 2004. The estate has been certified organic since the 2016 vintage.

Wine rating (2018 guide) 17.5/20 Favorite
Rated estate (2022 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing good-quality wines; you won't be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About wine:
It displays remarkable depth, with a silky mouthfeel and beautiful complexity. Full-bodied and distinguished.
About the estate:
Located at the entrance to the Médoc, this wine imposes its characteristic style, always expressing great finesse and elegance. Led by Caroline Frey since 2004, the estate has produced a series of very high-quality vintages that have enabled it to establish itself at the top of its appellation. It must be said that the château has everything it needs to succeed: a very interesting, homogeneous terroir and state-of-the-art winemaking facilities. This is a sure bet that has nevertheless been painfully affected by the climatic vagaries of recent vintages.

Wine rated (2018 guide) 93/100
About wine:
Just a hint of blackcurrant on the nose. It is loaded with healthy tannins on the palate that lead to a long finish. A fairly uncompromising young wine that will improve from 2020 onwards, but the fundamental harmony is very convincing. Full-bodied and flavorful.
