2022 vintage. A blend of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot. This biodynamic estate goes from strength to strength in the capable hands of Caroline Frey. In this exceptional vintage La Lagune honours its reputation as the finest wine in the Haut-Médoc appellation. Black fruit, flowers, cedar and subtle spices. A thick mouth feel, with layers of succulent fruit, spices, and a powerful structure of what might be the most velvety tannins ever for this estate. As usual it displays that unique aromatic and elegant character that I describe as somewhere between Margaux and Pessac-Léognan. Impressive depth and length. A strong contender for the title of best La Lagune ever. — 9 days ago

2019 vintage. From 30 hectares in Haut-Medoc, owned by the Quié family ( also Rauzan-Gassies and Croizet-Bages). A fine effort, showing that the Quié family is finally serious about quality, after decades of mediocrity. Much more evolved in colour compared to the 2019 Moulin de La Lagune tasted alongside. Ripe, slightly jammy fruit. Serve slightly cold to keep the high alcohol ( 15% abv.) in check. — a year ago

2022 vintage. A blend of 53% Merlot, 36% Cabernet Sauvignon and 11% Petit Verdot. As Siran is consistently of Cry Classé quality, I've put the bar high, tasting it next to the 2022 La Lagune. While it doesn't have the depth and quality of tannins of the latter Siran 2022 is an impressive effort, a classic Margaux in the same league as the magnificent 2019 Siran. — 9 days ago

Got some dregs. Still had something to say, which is the point here, it seems. — 4 months ago

2020 vintage. Nose is classic Pauillac , with cassis and lead pencil. Juicy black fruit, with the freshness of the vintage, but the tannin is a bit rough, and it lacks a bit of length. Good, but seems to be outperformed by other estates at the same price point ( Pédesclaux, Lynch-Moussas, La Lagune to name just a few). Abv. 13%. — 10 months ago

This wine is rich and bold, but not in your face. It has been described as being incredibly sexy and full-bodied. I can’t disagree. This wine makes me want to learn more about the Northern Rhône wines.

Fact: Jaboulet Hermitage was purchased by Caroline Frey family in 2006 (the Frey family also owns Chateau La Lagune). I really love Chateau La Lagune.

And there is no doubt that this wine is best paired with Miles Davis Kind of Blue on the turntable. Prove me wrong. — 2 years ago

2020 vintage. Equal parts of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon with 9% of Petit Verdot. Paired it with the same vintage of the best wine of the Haut-Médoc appellation, La Lagune. While it doesn't have the concentration and depth of the latter, Villegeorge stands on its own in a lighter, more forward style, with elegance, freshness and silky tannins. Terrific value. Abv 13,5%. — 2 months ago

Subtle complexity. A big bold white wine with minerality and slight notes of tropical fruits. Enjoyed this in Jules Verne restaurant in the Eiffel Tower — 5 months ago

Great Northern Rhône. Expensive but actually worth it. — 2 years ago
