About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of Red BlendBordeaux, FranceCaroline Frey is credited with the winemaking excellence here, but the fruit is equal to task from this fine estate that dates back to 1715 and has been producing wines since soon after. Though the relative merit of the wines from Ch?teau La Lagune took a dip during the mid 20th century, a quiet revolution in viticulture and winemaking has cospired to produce wine sof richness, generosity and density. There's plenty of fancy oak in the mix, but the fruit meshes at a pitch perfect level, creating a wine for cellaring and yet a relatively early appreciation. The wine has an increasing presence in the cellars of in-the-know Bordeaux lovers.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Another great success from proprietress Caroline Frey, the 2010 La Lagune provides an essential drinking experience, with notes of Asian plum sauce, mulberries, kirsch liqueur and black currants. The wine also exhibits a savory, rich smokiness and subtle lead pencil shaving notes. Full-bodied and pure, combining both elegance and power, this is a brilliant, very approachable effort that should hit its stride in 5-7 years and last for at least two decades. Think of it as a hypothetical blend of the 2005 and 2009. Kudos!
