2019 La Lagune (Haut-Medoc)

Media Reviews

Jane Anson

Full intensity plum colour, highly attractive aromatics that float up as soon as it hits the glass. Clear energy and tension through the body of the wine without the slightest dip in the mid palate. Not the most exuberant of the classified growths but this is seriously good quality, tight cassis and fine tannins. Organic certified, in conversion to biodynamics. 94 points

The 2019 La Lagune has a finely chiseled bouquet, a mélange of red and black fruit, touches of damp clay, undergrowth and cedar developing with time. These aromatics are very nuanced and deserve time, not impactful but intellectual. The palate is medium-bodied with fine but firm tannins. Very linear and correct in style, it feels fresh and sapid, though I would have liked more flair to show through on the saline finish. Still, I like the grip and I suspect it will give 25-30 years drinking pleasure. 92-94 points

70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot. Barrel sample. Pep and vitality on a rather refined, dark-fruit and floral nose. Plenty of backbone but the tannins finely honed. Long and linear with drive and persistence but sufficient mid-palate fruit to fill the holes. Clean finish. Should stay the course. 17 points
