"An impressive vintage"
“Once again, La Lagune lives up to its reputation. Right from the start, this 2015 impresses with the depth of its nearly black color, shimmering 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 body and a smooth progression toward a concentrated, long, and harmonious finish. A delicious Haut-Médoc with great aging potential.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2019) - Delivery in a wooden case is available for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on the country and selected shipping method)

Wine rated 16/20 (Very good wine)
Rated estate (2022 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)
About the wine:
A bit more austere than it was two years ago, but with the same qualities of freshness and lovely maturity found in Cabernet Sauvignons; however, it is naturally less fruity than its peers, which works slightly against it in a blind tasting.
About the estate:
La Lagune has not been rewarded by the weather in recent vintages for its bold commitment to organic viticulture. Under the guidance of its director, Caroline Frey, the wine has made significant progress in recent years, with blends featuring a higher percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon and more elegant tannin extraction. It just keeps getting better and better.

About the estate:
The first classified growth visitors encounter when 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. With a long-standing reputation, La Lagune combines an elegant 18th-century charterhouse, superb cellars, a vast vineyard (110 ha, 75 of which are dedicated to the grand vin), and a prime terroir—fine, sandy gravel. These assets are brought to life by a dynamic team led by Caroline Frey, the owner’s daughter and the estate’s winemaker since 2004. The estate has been certified organic since the 2016 vintage.

Wine rated (2018 guide) 17.5/20 Top Pick
Rated Estate (2022 Guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the wine:
It has remarkable complexity, with a silky mouthfeel and lovely depth. Full-bodied and elegant.
About the estate:
Located at the entrance to the Médoc, this estate has a distinctive style, consistently expressing great finesse and elegance. Under the leadership of Caroline Frey since 2004, the estate has produced a series of very high-quality vintages that have earned it a place among the top producers in its appellation. It must be said that the château has everything it needs to succeed: a very interesting, consistent terroir and state-of-the-art winemaking facilities. This is a sure bet that has nonetheless been severely impacted by the unpredictable weather of recent vintages.
James Suckling
Wine rated (2018 guide) 93/100
About the wine:
Just a hint of blackcurrant on the nose. It’s full of firm tannins on the palate that carry through to the long finish. A fairly uncompromising young wine that will improve starting in 2020, but its underlying harmony is very compelling. Full-bodied and flavorful.
