The 2020 Château La Lagune (Haut-Médoc) is an exceptional Third Growth (Troisième Cru Classé) Bordeaux, crafted from a classic blend led by Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot and Petit Verdot. Produced from deep gravel soils in the Haut-Médoc, it showcases remarkable elegance, structure and precision, reflecting the estate's reputation as one of the Left Bank's finest classed growths. The nose is intensely aromatic, revealing aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry and dark cherry, complemented by notes of violet, cedar, graphite, cigar box and finely integrated oak.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with polished, fine-grained tannins, vibrant natural acidity and a beautifully layered texture, delivering flavours of cassis, black plum and blackberry intertwined with hints of dark chocolate, tobacco leaf, liquorice and mineral complexity. The finish is long, refined and beautifully balanced, combining concentration with freshness and outstanding ageing potential.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a superb classed-growth Bordeaux for lovers of elegant Left Bank wines seeking depth, finesse and longevity. Enjoy after a generous decant or cellar confidently over the next 15–20 years. Ideal with roast lamb, beef Wellington, grilled rib-eye, venison or mature hard cheeses.
