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 2006 release is a medium bodied red with sweet red and black fruit, forest floor notes and gentle hints of oak.

The 2006 La Lagune has a deep colour. There is very good intensity on the nose for a 2006, quite pure with blackberry, briary and some blue fruit coming through with time, the oak nicely integrated and certainly more showy than the 2005. The palate is medium-bodied and for me, perhaps just a little over-extracted since I was hoping that the finish would show more tension and sophistication. There is a pleasant salinity but I suspect that ultimately the previous vintage will show more class. Maybe it is trying too hard? Tasted at the La Lagune vertical at the château.Neal Martin1st April 2018

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. (JR)
