The 2014 La Lagune is a wine that showed extremely well when I tasted it from barrel. Now in bottle, it has a very well defined, quite intense bouquet with blackberry, cedar and pencil box aromas—classic in style, demonstrating impressive breeding. The palate is very well balanced with fine tannin, bright and vivacious black fruit laced with graphite, fine mineralité and it fans out wonderfully on the Pauillac-like finish. You know, I suspect this might even surpass the 2015 La Lagune... let's see. This is excellent.<br/>

Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Das Bouquet duftet wie ein chilenischer Cabernet, also findet man im floralen Schimmer auch eine genügende Ration Eucalyptus und grüne Pfefferkörner. Im Gaumen dicht, feine Tannine, wirkt gebündelt und zeigt sehr gute Anlagen, das Extrakt weist eine pfeffrige Note auf, die Rasse stammt wohl vom Anteil von 10 % Petit Verdot, welche sich im Blend drin befinden. Als ich ins Weingut kam stank es im ganzen Chais nach faulen Eiern. Ich hoffe dieser seriöse, lagerfähige La Lagune 2014 wird da nichts abbekommen! 17/20 2025 – 2048

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.
