96 Wine Spectator
Floral and precise fruit, with blackberry-skin character and mineral undertones. Full-bodied, with superfine tannins and a fresh, clean finish. Long and tight. Racy. Lovely texture. 60 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 25 percent Merlot and 15 percent Petit Verdot. This property is really on a roll now, delivering racy and structured reds; it gives much more freshness and character to the wine. Score range: 93-96 ?JS
96 James Suckling
Fabulous aromas of licorice, flowers and blackcurrants follow through to a full body with wonderful silky and caressing tannins and a long, flavorful finish. It’s complex and exceptional. Better in 2018 but so enjoyable to taste and drink now. <br/>

It is not unusual that the 2009 La Lagune is a spectacular effort given the fact that this estate has been making terrific wines over the last decade or more. It boasts a dense purple color as well as a beautiful perfume of blueberries, mulberries, cassis, white chocolate and subtle toasty oak. Notes of Chinese black tea, cedarwood and forest floor also make an appearance in the singular aromatic and flavor profiles. This sumptuous, full-bodied La Lagune possesses low acidity, abundant but ripe, sweet tannin and a long, 45-second finish. Give this beauty 5-7 years of bottle age and drink it over the following three decades.

Tiefes Purpur, satt in der Mitte, Granatschimmer am Rand. Wunderschön reifes Bouquet, viel Pflaumen und auch einen Anklang von Dörrfrüchte aufweisend, er zeigt diese Cheval-ähnlichen Duftnoten von alten, grossen Jahrgängen. Im Gaumen schon recht samtig, nussige Noten mit viel Lakritze im Innern. Zeigt jetzt mehr von seine Klasse wie bei der letztjährigen Primeurprobe. warten (2018 - 2040)

Château La Lagune
The historical Château La Lagune dates all the way back to the 16th century, and has gone through both good and bad times since. The 1950s dealt the château a series of issues, from the financial pressure caused by the economic crisis, to the great frost of 1956, which devastated a rather large part of vineyards in Bordeaux, the domaine with the help of George Burnette was able to rebuild. By the turn of the century, the Frey family acquired the estate, and currently remains in the hands of Caroline Frey. Today, Château La Lagune is one of the finest Third Growths in Haut-Médoc, with over 80-hectares planted to the appellation’s most emblematic grape varieties, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. Enologist and manager, Caroline has implemented the transition to organic farming, with certification scheduled for harvest 2016. Recognized for their, balance, finesse and elegance, the estate’s flagship wine called La Lagune is increasingly impressive. Fermented in stainless steel temperature-controlled tanks, the wine is then aged in new oak, and is one of Médoc’s best clarets.
