Chateau La Lagune 2023

65% Cabernet Sauvignon 35% Merlot
Maturing/aging : 21 months

OWNER’S DESCRIPTION
Behind its deep ruby colour, the nose presents delicate notes of crushed strawberry as well as menthol nuances reminiscent of the freshness of Cabernet Sauvignons. The attack is soft and delicate, revealing silky tannins and well-balanced acidity. The finish remains marked by the purity of the tannins that extends in the mouth and leaves an elegant impression of this 2023 vintage.

Wine Advocate : 90-92/100 : “The 2023 La Lagune, a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Merlot, reveals bright aromas of dark wild berries, flowers, cassis and spices. Medium-bodied, supple and enveloping, with a perfectly balanced mid-palate, it’s elegant and charming with an ethereal, fruity finish. This is an excellent rendition of this terroir”.

James Suckling 94-95/100 : “A subtle yet plush La Lagune with black olives, blackberries and hints of chocolate and hazelnut. Medium body with fine, polished tannins and a savory finish. There’s a crunchy feel to it and it’s layered and deep at the end. 65% cabernet sauvignon and 35% merlot. No petit Verdot”.

Vinous – Antonio Galloni 92-94/100 : “The 2023 La Lagune is a serious wine, but it is also quite backward. Dark red cherry, plum, spice, leather and dried herbs open with some coaxing. The 2023 is going to need time to come together. Its aromatic intensity and overall persistence suggest it has a bright future. Tasted two times”.
