Since the Frey family (also owners of Jaboulet in the Rhône Valley) assumed control of Château La Lagune in 1999, the wines produced at this Grand Cru Classé Haut-Médoc estate have seen a massive increase in quality and consistency. The 2003 is composed of a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 10% Petit Verdot. Attractive dark fruited character with earthy, liquorice complexity.

The 2003 La Lagune was the first vintage whereby Denis Dubourdieu acted as consultant. It has a more fruit forward bouquet compared to the 2002 and it has aged well, offering redcurrant, dried fig and a touch of tinned prune on the nose, yet without the VA or sur-maturité that afflict other 2003s. The palate is medium-bodied with a peppery opening, fine tannin, admirable freshness for this vintage with more tension on the finish than one might expect, plus I appreciate the discrete touch of bay leaf and white pepper on the aftertaste. Tasted at the La Lagune vertical at the château. Neal Martin1st April 2018
