Château La Lagune 2024

On the nose, blueberries and blackberries, herbs, and floral notes; on the palate, straightforward and fruit-driven, slim in body, noticeable acidity, gentle tannins; red-fruited finish with sour cherries. Built for early drinking.

Beautifully open and expressive aromas. This has great purity, energy and focus - wonderfully alive on the palate with vibrancy. It's not a blockbuster, but you can't fault the precision on show with bitter grapefruit, chalky edges and red berry fruit. There's a touch of citrus to the high acidity but it has a lot of charm and once this settles this will be delicious for early drinking. Tasted twice. 3.4pH. 55 IPT.

Black cherries, tobacco, smoke, licorice, flowers, and red currants show in the perfume. Medium-bodied, soft, forward, and fruity, the vibrant, fresh, classic wine will be charming on release, and for at least 12-15 years after that. Drink from 2027-2040. 90-92 Pts

An enchanting, heady floral nose. The intense palate retains freshness, and silky tannins contribute to a sleek texture, with a finely tangy finish. The whole needs time to find its balance.
