2009 Chateau La Lagune 3eme Cru Classe, Haut-Medoc

Château La Lagune, a Third Growth estate located in the Ludon commune of the Haut-Médoc, has a storied lineage that dates back to the 18th century. The vineyard is situated on a rare, elevated gravel plateau that provides excellent drainage for the vines, which are used to produce a blend made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. In the glass, the wine offers deep aromas of cassis, cedar, and forest floor, supported by a structured, full-bodied texture. The 2009 growing season, characterized by a warm and steady summer, provided the fruit with exceptional ripeness and supple, well-integrated tannins. Now with over a decade of bottle age, this wine is currently in an excellent window for drinking and represents a sophisticated, reliable choice for the cellar.
