Château La Lagune Grand Cru Classé Haut Medoc 2019

Let us start with its composition: 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot. The typical Bordeaux blend, loved and imitated throughout the world, here masterfully interpreted by the talented oenologist Caroline Frey. In perfect Médoc style, the ripe grapes are harvested between the end of September and the beginning of October. Once in the cellar, the bunches are further selected before being transferred, by gravity, to stainless steel vats where the fermentation phase takes place and, after racking, the malolactic fermentation takes place. Finally, at the end of the rigorous vinification process, the wines are left to mature at length in oak barrels, again in perfect traditional style. The final blending is done during maturation before bottling. Ruby red with garnet hues, the nose offers dark, black fruit notes such as currants, chocolate and tobacco. In the mouth, however, it is pleasantly full-bodied, with tannins in clear evidence but fine and polished. Long and intense, it is a wine with an excellent structure, made from organically grown grapes. Good, therefore, but also environmentally sustainable. All the more reason not to miss it.
