Why We're Buying
At Château La Lagune, they believe Mother Nature makes the best wine. The wine estate uses organic and biodynamic agriculture to preserve the terroir while extracting the maximum complexity and finesse out of the fruit. The result: one of the most investment-worthy wines from the Haut-Médoc appellation.
Critics Scores
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2016 la Lagune has a medium garnet-purple color and nose of intense cassis, warm cherries, redcurrants and spice box with earth and bay leaves in the undercurrent. The medium-bodied, earth-laced palate is plush and lively, finishing long.
Jeb Dunnuck
This is a great vintage for this terrific Haut-Médoc estate, and the 2016 Château La Lagune is well worth a case purchase. Complex notes of dark fruits, cedar, cigar tobacco, and hints of saddle leather all flow to a medium to full-bodied, perfectly balanced 2016 that has sweet tannins and a great finish. It will keep for 25-30 years.
Decanter
This is La Lagune's first certified organic vintage. It's considerably closed compared to when tasted at en primeur; still highly recommended but needs time in bottle. Tight cassis notes are joined by bilberry, black autumnal fruits and some tarry oak. It's a powerful wine with noticeable oak, extremely full tannins and earthy notes. A little raw at present, the high acidity gives a juicy impact. It's matured in 50 new oak, and fined but not filtered before bottling with minimal added SO2. Axel Vallet consults.
