Château La Lagune: A Third Classified Growth of Haut-Médoc Finesse

Château La Lagune, a distinguished Third Classified Growth from the 1855 Bordeaux Classification, is a star of the Haut-Médoc appellation. Managed by the Frey family and helmed by the talented Caroline Frey, the estate is committed to organic and biodynamic viticulture, ensuring the purity and elegant expression of its deep gravel terroir. The resulting wine is renowned for its structure, balance, and Margaux-like delicacy.

Tasting Profile (Classic Vintage)

• **Colour:** Deep, profound garnet, promising rich concentration.
• **Nose:** Intense and layered. The bouquet presents ripe blackcurrant and dark berry fruit, underpinned by savoury notes of cedar, tobacco, and subtle baking spice from its time in French oak.
• **Palate:** Generous and smooth. It offers a velvety mouthfeel with polished, well-defined tannins. The core is beautifully fresh and balanced, driving through to a long, sophisticated, and memorable finish.

Food Pairing & Serving

This fine wine demands an equally impressive culinary partner. Serve at 17-18°C (63-64°F), and consider decanting for up to two hours for maximum enjoyment of younger bottles.

• **Suggested Pairings:** Classic Beef Wellington, Slow-Roasted Shoulder of Lamb, Venison Loin with a rich reduction, Mature Cheddar or Comté.
• **Laying Down:** A superb wine for the cellar, capable of aging gracefully for 10 to 25 years.
