A wine with real pedigree, produced from the young vines of 3rd Classed Growth Château La Lagune in the Haut-Médoc.

Ruby in colour, the ripe, intensely aromatic dark fruit has been tamed by some oak ageing, tannins are supple and the finish is long with a balancing and savoury freshness.

The entire vineyard is certified organic farmed biodynamically and forming part of a project to develop a rich and diverse ecosystem within the estate. The terroir of La Lagune is made up of light gravel and silica. Traditional destemming, with 3 weeks of macceration and gentle extraction. The wine spends 12 months aging in French oak barrels of which 40% are new.

Chateau La Lagune is located in the Haut-Medoc wine appellation of Bordeaux. It was one of only fourteen 3rd growths (3eme cru classe or troisieme cru) in the historic Bordeaux wine classification of 1855. This remains the highest rating for an Haut-Medoc property. It is located in the commune of Ludon.

Chateau La Lagune was founded in 1724 has had a varied history. After World War 2, the estate was rescued from dereliction when it was bought by Georges Brunet in 1958 and subsequently sold to the Ducellier family who owned Champagne Ayala in 1962. In 2000 both La Lagune and Ayala were sold to the Frey family. They sold Ayala to Champagne Bollinger and acquired Maison Jaboulet in the Rhone. Today the estate remains in the Frey family and has been owned and run by oenologist Caroline Frey since 2004.
