The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Château La Lagune is at the top of its game. Belonging to the prestigious circle of the Médoc's 1855 Grands Crus Classés, this estate has been competing with the greatest of them all for many years. Its rigorous style, depth of fruit, and classicism make it one of the finest labels of the moment, propelled by a terroir of gravel that is unique in this sector.
Wine The beautifully constituted 2015 Moulin de La Lagune still displays the same qualities of freshness and ripeness of Cabernet Sauvignon, all the more so in this ample, generous vintage. An already expressive wine, combining character and suppleness, which can be enjoyed now or over another 5 to 6 years. A fine meat dish in sauce or grilled will suit it perfectly.
Vinification Hand harvested, fermented in stainless steel vats, aged for 12 months in French oak barrels (40% new).

Second wine of the Château.
