I experienced some sample variation with the 2011 La Lagune, but it appears to be outstanding, and one of the better efforts of the vintage. A dark plum/ruby/purple color is followed by aromas of dense, rich black raspberries, black currants, loamy soil and a hint of new oak. Medium to full-bodied with silky tannins, decent acidity and loads of fruit and glycerin presented in a forward, appealing, seductive style, it can be enjoyed over the next decade.

I like the raspberry and blueberry character on the nose and palate. Medium to full body with racy tannins and fresh finish. Fine texture to this for the vintage Needs a few years to soften. Try in 2017.

Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Dumpfes Bouquet, Soyasauce, Demi-Glace, liegen gelassene dunkle Pflaumen, dahinter versuchen Brombeeren verzweifelt ins Nasenbild hoch zu kraxeln. Im Gaumen malzig, mit fülliger Textur und gute Balance, überzeugt hier wesentlich mehr als im ersten Nasenansatz, im Nachklang extrahierte, kernige Tannine zeigend. Hier wollte man deutlich mehr, als der Jahrgang vorgab. Reine Potential-, aber nicht Spasswertung: warten (2019 - 2043)

On the crunchier side, with slightly snappy acidity and damson plum and currant fruit. Enough spice fills in on the finish to give it a full feel.—J.M.

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.
