The 2014 vintage in Haut-Médoc
Vintage benchmark: 90/100 (appellation benchmark, not a score for this wine)
Vintage character: A gloomy summer redeemed by an Indian summer: the cabernets are radiant and the freshness is true to the Médoc.
Overall reading of the year’s season across Haut-Médoc. An estate can depart from it sharply, in frost or hail years, where two neighbours did not make the same vintage. What this particular wine actually gave is on its technical sheet and in the scores above.
Tasting
"During my most recent tastings, I compared La Lagune to a Margaux. 2014 La Lagune makes me think this is true more than ever! Beautiful, dark, intense colour. Fruity, elegant, floral nose with hints of black fruit. Lovely juiciness on the palate from the very beginning. Goes on to be very flavoursome and melts in the mouth with a velvety texture with a great deal of class. Beautiful rich, aromatic aftertaste. Fine tannin. BRAVO!" - Jean-Marc Quarin

Winemaking
After a very meticulous triple manual sorting, completed by an optical sorting, the most beautiful berries are delicately sent to the vats for plot-by-plot vinification. The extraction of tannins and anthocyanins is carefully measured to obtain the most elegant wines. The final blend is made during ageing with the wines from the best plots.
Ageing
Château La Lagune is aged in French oak barrels, 50% of which are renewed every year. The wines are racked several times during their maturation, in order to eliminate the heavy lees and favour maturation on fine lees.
Terroir
The finesse of the Graves and the strength of the Médoc. The terroir of La Lagune is considered by the famous geologist René Pijassou as «the Médoc island model». The light gravel (pink, yellow and white quartz, calcite, agates) and silica diffuse the sunlight and help to give the Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot the grace, balance and finesse that characterise the wines of La Lagune.
