91/100 Drink: N/A Having just had the 2005 La Lagune, which I think is the greatest La Lagune I have ever tasted, the 2006 certainly loses some prestige in comparison, but this is an outstanding wine and further evidence of just how strong this estate’s wines have become. Sweet plum and red and black currant fruit, intermixed with notes of resiny pine forest and forest floor as well as a hint of barrique, are followed by a wine with gorgeous depth, an attractive, medium-bodied texture, a fresh, poised personality, and a moderately long finish. This is another beauty, not weighty, but pure, savory, and capable of lasting 15 or more years, although it is accessible already. 16/20 Drink 2013-18 Dark purplish crimson. Medium weight with slight oak influence on the palate. Very slightly raw notes but good lift and zest. Very juicy. Just not very complex. Confident. Dry tannins but just about in balance. Should be fine in the long run for a zippy easy drink. 87-89/100 Drink - The nose is rather muffled with a touch of green leaves but the palate is better with nice, grippy tannin, prudent use of new oak lending it balance and freshness. The finish is crisp and ripe with a nice cedar edge. There are better vintages of La Lagune but this is still enjoyable in the context of the vintage. Tasted April 2007. |

Château La Lagune, is the first classified château that greets you on the drive to Medoc from the famous D2 from the city of Bordeaux. The Chateau is also one of the best known and most appreciated by wine lovers. La Lagune has undergone a renaissance, involving gradual replanting and new trellising in the vineyards, the construction of an innovative state of the art winery, featuring a new vat room and extended ageing cellar – and an entirely renovated château. In 2004, 28-year old Caroline Frey, took charge of oenology and winemaking at Château La Lagune. After graduating at the top of her class at the Faculty of Oenology in Bordeaux in 2003, she spent two years working with Denis Dubourdieu to hone her technical knowledge and skill. Denis Dubourdieu is currently consultant winemaker to Château La Lagune.
