Description
A fresh and complex Haut-Médoc Second Wine
The estate
Magnificently situated on the left bank of Bordeaux, Château La Lagune is one of the finest estates in the Haut-Médoc appellation. Since 2004, Caroline Frey has put her talent to work to raise Château La Lagune to the top.
The vineyard
A major name among the wines of Bordeaux’s Left Bank, Château La Lagune oversees an 80-hectare vineyard planted on a gravelly hilltop. The vines, on average 20 years old, are managed with organic and biodynamic practices.
The wine
The estate’s Second Wine, Moulin de La Lagune showcases the style of a great Haut-Médoc wine.
The vintage
The conditions at the beginning of the growth cycle were seasonal and relatively dry. Following budburst recorded at the end of March, the growth development was slow and regular. Bright weather lasted from the beginning of July to mid-August. When it was time for the harvest, the vineyard’s health was perfect and the grapes were of a great quality.
Winemaking and ageing
Harvests done by hand with sorting at the plot, completed by a manual and optical sorting in the vatting room. Vinification with destemming at 100%, maceration of 3 weeks with gentle extractions. Malolactic fermentation. Ageing for 12 months in French oak casks of which 40% were of new wood.
Blend
Merlot (60%)
Cabernet Sauvignon (33%)
Petit Verdot (7%)
