Château La Lagune 2020 (Demi-Blle)

Wineadvocate

The 2020 La Lagune has turned out beautifully, offering up aromas of cassis, dark berries, loamy soil and sweet spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, velvety, layered palate that exhibits excellent depth and concentration structured around powdery tannins, concluding with a perfumed, violet-inflected finish. This is a strong effort and a worthy, somewhat more muscular follow-up to the sensual, charming 2019. - WK 04/2023

Beck

Subtile et complexe, La Lagune se révèle de manière filigrane, tout en finesse. La précision olfactive laisse deviner un vin bien structuré. Plutôt élancé, le vin bénéficie d'une structure tannique aux grains fins, se révélant tardivement, et d'une acidité rafraîchissante, un atout bienvenu dans le contexte chaleureux de 2020. La Lagune est très abouti et il faut saluer cette aptitude à afficher sa puissance avec autant de délicatesse ! Une très belle réussite. 2027-2047 - YB 01/2023

Suckling

A focused and savory red with sleek and tight tannins. Very precise. Medium-bodied with fresh herbs, currants, blackberries and oyster shells. Stones and dried flowers, too. Fine finish. Tannins are round and complete. Already approachable. From biodynamically grown grapes. Better after 2025. - 05/2022

Dunnuck

Smoky black fruits, tobacco, gravelly earth, and spicy oak all emerge from the 2020 Château La Lagune, one of the most concentrated, structured Haut-Médocs out there. Medium-bodied on the palate, it has terrific overall balance, building tannins, and a great finish. It needs to be forgotten for 4-5 years and will evolve for two decades or more if well-stored. - 03/2023
