Reseña profesional
La Lagune is an wine estate in the Haut-Médoc region, just north of Bordeaux city and ranked as a third growth in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification. The highest-ranked estate bearing the Haut-Médoc title, its grand vin is made predominantly from Cabernet Sauvignon with smaller amounts of Merlot and Petit Verdot.
The wine is generally elegant and aromatic, in a similar vein to the wines of Margaux some 10km (six miles) north of the estate. Most vintages can be approached at a relatively youthful age.
The organically farmed vineyard covers 80 hectares (200 acres) on a south-facing gravel hill of well-drained, white pebbles which reflect the sun back onto the fruit – an aid to ripening. The estate is planted to 65 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, with 30 percent Merlot and 5 percent Petit Verdot.
