- 92 Punkte DECANTER, Steven Spurrier: „Superb black-purple colour, lovely expression of summer fruits on the nose, fine fleshy texture with 10% Petit Verdot adding grip to the natural tannins, already supple but with a great future. 2016-2028.“
- 92 Punkte VINOUS, Neal Martin: "The 2012 La Lagune has a perfumed, lifted bouquet that is much more dynamic and floral than the 2011: black cherries, raspberry preserve, crushed violet and a touch of iodine. There is a lot going on here! The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, a fine thread of acidity, plenty of spice-tinged red fruit that feels deftly integrated with the oak. It gently fans out towards the second half with impressive composure. This does not have to do too much to impress and the result is a La Lagune imbued with drinkability even at this early stage. Personally, I would afford it another five years in bottle, but I would not blame anyone for broaching this now. Tasted at the La Lagune vertical at the château. 2020-2040."
- 91 Punkte James Suckling: „Intense nose of blackberries with hints of cedar and spices. Tar, too. This is a full-bodied red with chewy tannins, lovely acidity and a long, fruity finish. Drink from 2018.“
- 91 Punkte WINE CELLAR INSIDER, Jeff Leve: „Produced using a blend of 56% Cabernet Sauvingnon, 26% Merlot and 18% Petit Verdot, the wine displays a fresh, black raspberry, spicy, olive tapanade character. There is freshness and crisp, peppery, spicy, fresh red berries coupled with thyme and pepper in the tannic finish. Give it another 5-7 more years to develop. This could have the highest concentration of Petit Verdot in the blend for the estate and 18%.“
- 91 Punkte DECANTER, Jane Anson: "A great quality 2012, these are pretty serious tannins that are still very much on form, holding the cassis and bilberry fruit together, with clear black pepper and saffron notes filling out the mid palate. Packed with gourmet richness, a lovely wine. 50% new oak. 2020-2040."
- 90 Punkte Adrian van Velsen-vvWine.ch (02/2024): “ (56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, 18% Petit Verdot, 13% Alkohol) Kräftiges Rubin, keine Alterstöne. Die Nase ist dunkelfruchtig geprägt, Brombeeren, Kirschen, Zedernholz. Im Gaumen auf dem Punkt, noch immer Frucht, getragen von bereits gut verpacktem Tannin und einer stimmigen Säure. Im Abgang lang, ausgewogen. Ein Wein der aktuell viel Trinkspass bietet. Bis 2035 geniessen.“
- 17/20 Punkte VINUM Magazin: „Klassischer geht es nicht: beginnt fruchtig und rund, das Tannin ist von mittlerer Dichte, doch ohne Härte, frisches, krautig-saftiges Finale.“

| Notizen des Weinguts: | In 1855, La Lagune joined the very strict circle of Grands Crus Classés and became the 3 rd Grand Cru Classé. On the road to the Médoc, it represents the first and one of the most beautiful gravelly hilltops. The story begins in 1525, around the natural water points where the «village of La Lagune» was built, and transformed into a wine-producing estate around 1587. The Chartreuse was built in 1730 and completed by Baron Victor Louis, architect of the Grand Théâtre de Bordeaux. Since her arrival in 2000, Caroline Frey and her team have instilled an energy whose key word is excellence. The making of a great wine requires a great terroir but also the passion and skills of the men and women, in the care of every detail. Finesse, harmony, elegance and balance express themselves wonderfully through this 3rd Grand Cru Classé AGE OF THE VINES: from 20 to 60 years old SOIL GEOLOGY: THE FINESSE OF THE GRAVES AND THE STRENGTH OF THE MÉDOC. The terroir of La Lagune is considered by the famous geologist René Pijassou as «the Medoc island model». The light gravel (pink, yellow and white quartz, calcite, agates) and silica diffuse the sunlight and help to give the Cabernet-Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot the grace, balance and finesse that characterise the wines of La Lagune. VINEYARD MANAGEMENT: Double Guyot / Medoc pruning VINE DENSITY: 6,666 vines/ha and 10,000 vines/ha. WEATHER CONDITIONS AND PHENOLOGY The winter of 2012 followed a very cold trend, with a significant rainfall deficit, despite a few snowy episodes. March was mild but still very dry, April cool and rainy. May was mild with temperatures returning to normal. In the first half of June, the temperature drops again and the weather remains grey until mid-July. Then the heat sets in until 25 September. The climatic year 2012 was therefore paradoxical, since despite a particularly wet and cool spring, the high evaporative demands in May with a strong wind during the few dry periods were enough to make the water balance rapidly negative, reinforced by the drought in the second part of the summer. Budburst began timidly and in a heterogeneous way at the end of March. The first flowers were observed around 25 May, and mid-flowering around 10 June. The arrival of the high temperatures in August enabled the vine to catch up on some of the delay. The mid-point of flowering was reached on 15 August. HARVEST DATE: 25 SEPTEMBER TO 14 OCTOBER 2012 HARVEST The grapes are picked by hand and then transported to the vat room in small crates. The date of harvest is determined for each plot after numerous tastings of the grapes and additional analytical controls AGEING Château La Lagune is aged in French oak barrels, 50% of which are renewed every year. The wines are racked several times during their maturation, in order to eliminate the large lees and favour maturation on fine lees. GENTLE WINEMAKING After a very meticulous triple manual sorting, completed by an optical sorting, the most beautiful berries are delicately sent to the vats for the plot vinification. The extraction of tannins and anthocyanins is carefully measured to obtain the most elegant wines. The final blend is made during the ageing process with the wines from the best parcels. |
