A silky and balanced Haut-Médoc red wine

The estate

Beautifully located on the left bank of Bordeaux, the Château La Lagune stands out among the very fine references of the Haut-Médoc appellation. Since 2004, Caroline Frey has been using her talent to raise Château La Lagune to the top.

The vineyard

The Château La Lagune 2023 is a Haut-Médoc wine from an 80-hectare vineyard planted on a gravelly ridge. The vines, aged 20 to 60 years, are cultivated following organic and biodynamic practices.

The vintage

A relatively wet winter precedes a mild spring promoting homogeneous flowering. The heat of June is offset by a cool July before returning to high temperatures in August, especially in the middle of the month, which increases the concentration of the grapes. While the heavy rains recorded on September 12 allow the berries to gain in volume, the thermal amplitudes ensure optimal ripening of the grapes.

Vinification and ageing

Harvested by hand, the grapes undergo three manual sortings and an optical sorting to retain only the best quality berries. Parcel vinification with gentle extraction to magnify the elegance of the wine. Ageing in French oak barrels, 50% of which are new, accompanied by several rackings. Final blend made during ageing with the wines from the best parcels.
