Not really Margaux even if it is a neighbour, not really Haut-Médoc as it is situated in the extreme south of the Médoc on the outskirts of Bordeaux, La Lagune is a special vintage in the 1855 classification, marvellously combining finesse and sweet smoothness.
The 2019 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N. Martin - January 2023): 95/100 “The 2019 La Lagune offers exquisite transparency on the nose - one of the most terroir-expressive Pessac-Léognan wines this vintage. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins, taut and fresh, quite saline with a very integrated and poised finish that lingers in the mouth. Wonderful - could this be the best La Lagune in years? ”
La Revue du Vin de France (September 2022): 92/100 “The wine shows itself to be quite tender and supple, with roundness and melted tannins. A half-bodied La Lagune, already very approachable and balanced.”
J-M Quarin (March 2022): 91/100 “The wine caresses the palate, tasty, with a touch of vivacity in the persistence.”
