Château La Lagune is a Third Growth property located in the Haut-Médoc appellation of Bordeaux. Its Grand Vin is made predominantly from Cabernet Sauvignon with smaller amounts of Merlot and Petit Verdot. The 2010 vintage is widely regarded as an exceptional year in Bordeaux. The weather conditions during the growing season were quite favourable, resulting in optimal ripeness and concentration of the grapes. The red wines in particular are known for their balance and aging potential.

- The 2010 La Lagune has a vigorous bouquet with blackberry, briary and tobacco aromas, quite feisty compared to its peers, then settling down and manifesting more red fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and a fine bead of acidity. This builds nicely towards a cohesive, silky smooth finish with a pinch of white pepper on the aftertaste. Excellent.

One of the darkest purples I have seen. No different extraction policy this year and not picked especially late, I was told by the maître de chai. Lightly sweet and minerally on the nose. Easy and yet with odd suppleness. Sweet start. Then a bit turgid and heavy and tough on the end. MASSES of extract for a left-bank wine! Just a bit of a lack of freshness. Tastes pretty hot on the finish. Falls away. I am told it’s 13.9%. Tastes a bit more. (JR)
