Like Palmer and Calon-Segur, La Lagune was ranked a 3rd growth in the Bordeaux classification of 1855. Yet La Lagune costs a good deal less than either of those châteaux – and it remains one of the most affordable cru classés on the market.

Why? Name recognition probably has something to do with it: La Lagune sits just beyond the boundaries of Margaux, so it belongs instead to the less-prestigious Haut-Médoc appellation. Were Margaux's boundaries drawn a little further south, the wine would surely not be the great value that it is today.

Professional Reviews

Robert Parker

RP 94
"Another great success from proprietress Caroline Frey, the 2010 La Lagune provides an essential drinking experience, with notes of Asian plum sauce, mulberries, kirsch liqueur and black currants. The wine also exhibits a savory, rich smokiness and subtle lead pencil shaving notes. Full-bodied and pure, combining both elegance and power, this is a brilliant, very approachable effort that should hit its stride in 5-7 years and last for at least two decades. Think of it as a hypothetical blend of the 2005 and 2009." -Robert Parker

Jancis Robinson

JR 17
"Fresh cedary, dusty nose, restrained dark fruit but full in the mouth. Finely balanced, fine grained and lovely freshness."

Wine Spectator

WS 92
"This is tangy, with red currant, roasted mesquite, sanguine and tobacco notes. Already shows range and definition, with solid grip."
