CHATEAU LA LAGUNE 750 ml

Description

Discover the 2020 Château La Lagune, a refined red from Bordeaux's Haut-Médoc appellation, crafted at a prestigious Third Growth estate in France. This wine captures the essence of its origins through a thoughtful blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot, delivering a harmonious profile suited for those who appreciate layered reds.

At Château La Lagune, organic certification marks the 2020 vintage, reflecting a dedication to sustainable vineyard care that nurtures vine health and highlights the unique terroir. Practices focused on biodiversity ensure the grapes thrive in balance with their environment, promising an authentic expression in every bottle.

Traditional methods shape this wine, starting with fermentation in temperature-controlled vats and followed by maturation in French oak barrels to build its foundation. Pour a glass, and a deep purple hue greets the eye, while intense aromas rise—blackcurrants mingling with tobacco, violets, and a touch of earthy minerality that draws you closer.

On the palate, expect a medium to full-bodied feel with velvety smoothness. Flavors of cassis and dark berries unfold alongside sweet spices, supported by powdery tannins that provide depth and concentration. The finish lingers with perfumed violet notes, leaving a memorable impression long after the last sip.
