The highest-ranked estate bearing the Haut-Médoc title, its grand vin is made predominantly from Cabernet Sauvignon with smaller amounts of Merlot and Petit Verdot. The wine is generally elegant and aromatic, in a similar vein to the wines of Margaux some 10km (six miles) north of the estate. Most vintages can be approached at a relatively youthful age. The organically farmed vineyard covers 80 hectares (200 acres) on a south-facing gravel hill of well-drained, white pebbles which reflect the sun back onto the fruit – an aid to ripening. The estate is planted to 65 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, with 30 percent Merlot and 5 percent Petit Verdot. A second wine, Moulin de La Lagune, is produced from younger vines which do not make the grade for the grand vin. Since 2004, a third wine, Mademoiselle L, has been made from another 30-hectare (74-acre) plot further down the La Lagune slope. It is a 50-50 blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot and is intended to be drunk young. In the gravity-fed winery, the grapes pass along three separate sorting tables for strict selection before being dropped in to one of 72 thermo-regulated stainless steel vats, which vary in size between 2200 and 20,000 liters to cater for different vineyard plots. The grand vin is blended before being placed for 18 months in French oak barrels (55 percent of which are new). On average 18,000 to 20,000 cases (up to 240,000 bottles, or 180,000 liters) of the various wines are produced per year.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-10-04T17:35:57-04:00","created_at":"2023-09-28T13:43:38-04:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_France","NK2709","Other_Wine","Producer_Château La Lagune","Region_Haut-Medoc","Source_WineOnlineDelivery0923","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Bordeaux Blend Red"],"price":45495,"price_min":45495,"price_max":45495,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":43831633707146,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":null,"requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2016 | Château La Lagune | Haut-Medoc (Magnum)","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":45495,"weight":5443,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/72_122a5843-7b1c-422b-8292-d84be03cc76a.jpg?v=1695923068"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/72_122a5843-7b1c-422b-8292-d84be03cc76a.jpg?v=1695923068","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2016 | Château La Lagune | Haut-Medoc (Magnum) at CaskCartel.com","id":25190798524554,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":580,"width":580,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/72_122a5843-7b1c-422b-8292-d84be03cc76a.jpg?v=1695923068"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":580,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/72_122a5843-7b1c-422b-8292-d84be03cc76a.jpg?v=1695923068","width":580}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2016 | Château La Lagune | Haut-Medoc (Magnum)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2016 la Lagune has a medium garnet-purple color and nose of intense cassis, warm cherries, redcurrants and spice box with earth and bay leaves in the undercurrent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrder from the Largest \u0026amp; Most Trusted Premium Spirits Marketplace! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatured in\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eROLLING STONE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMEN'S JOURNAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUS WEEKLY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTICE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Many other small liquor store sites may end up cancelling your order due to the high demand, unavailability or inaccurate inventory counts.  We have partnerships consisting of a large network of licensed retailers from within the United States, Europe and across the world ensuring orders are fulfilled.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer:\u003c\/b\u003e Château La Lagune\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVintage\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2016\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.5L\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Bordeaux Blend Red\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\/Region:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e France, Haut-Medoc\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetailed Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2016 la Lagune has a medium garnet-purple color and nose of intense cassis, warm cherries, redcurrants and spice box with earth and bay leaves in the undercurrent.
