Chateau La Lagune - Haut-Medoc 2022 (1.5L)

Continue Shopping Add to Wish List

Magnificently located on the left bank of Bordeaux,  Château La Lagune  stands out among the very fine references of the Haut-Médoc appellation. Since 2004, Caroline Frey has put her talent to work to raise Château la Lagune to the top.

The Château La Lagune 2022 is a  Haut-Médoc wine  from an 80-hectare vineyard planted on a gravelly ridge. The vines, aged 20 to 60 years old, are managed using organic and biodynamic farming practices.

Impressive La Lagune, with depth and reach, manages to deliver intense tannic architecture, with Left Bank power and concentrated cassis and bilberry fruits, with fresher pomegranate, citrus zest, mandarin oil, tobacco, cigar box all adding complexity. Supple tannins also, and plenty of them, with bitter almond notes adding focus on the finish. Ageing potential here, and an impressive vintage for the property. Harvest September 9 to 26. Owner Caroline Frey.

Reminding me, like the 2019, of a modern-day version of the lovely 1990, the 2022 La Lagune bursts with aromas of dark berries, cassis, licorice and violets. Medium to full-bodied, supple and fleshy, it's a broad, sensual wine with velvety tannins and a suave, charming profile. With 13.8% alcohol, it remains classically proportioned, with a rather high pH of over 3.8 likely contributing to its open, giving style this year.
