Château La LAGUNE
3ème grand cru classé
- 2020
- Haut-médoc
Not really Margaux even if it is a neighbour, not really Haut-Médoc as it is situated in the extreme south of the Médoc on the outskirts of Bordeaux, La Lagune is a special vintage in the 1855 classification, marvellously combining finesse and sweet smoothness.
The 2020 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2024): 94/100 “In 2020, this vintage delivers an elegant wine, with supple substance and a lovely depth. It is long-lasting, with fruity flavors and silky tannins. It should be perfect for drinking in the next ten years or so.”
Vinous (N.Martin - November 2024): 93/100 “The 2020 La Lagune has a lovely bouquet of pure, very perfumed black fruit with violet petals and undergrowth. The oak is very well integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, classic in style and harmonious, building notes of cedar, black pepper and tobacco toward the finish. Excellent.”

The 2019 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (September 2022): 92/100 “The wine shows itself to be quite tender and supple, with roundness and melted tannins. A half-bodied La Lagune, already very approachable and balanced.”
J-M Quarin (March 2022): 91/100 “The wine caresses the palate, tasty, with a touch of vivacity in the persistence.”
