Château La Lagune Haut-Médoc Grand Cru Classé

750 ml

Third Grand Cru Classé

The blend brings together the emblematic grape varieties of the Médoc - Cabernet-Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot - and offers vintage wines recognized for their balance, finesse, and elegance. The vineyard of La Lagune covers 80 hectares. Caroline Frey, the oenologist, has been working in the establishment of environmentally friendly viticulture and conversion to organic and biodynamic agriculture initiated in 2013 with certification planned for the 2016 harvest. And this promotes more the quality of the wines.

The vintage is a great success owning the attributes of a great Bordeaux wine: harmony, elegance, and freshness. The oenologist brings a touch of femininity and youth to this exceptional wine.
