Producer Profile

Producer Profile

Chateau La Lagune

The striking chateau, with its wrought iron gates, dates from 1730 and built by Baron Louis, architect of the Grand Theatre in central Bordeaux. Its reputation was cemented in 1855, when it was awarded Third Growth status, which today makes it the highest classified of the AOC Haut-Medoc wines.

This was annother Medoc estate that languished after the Second World War, and when George Brunette bought the property in 1958, there were barely five hectares of vines in production. He began the replanting programme, which has continued ever since, most recently by the Frey family, who bought the estate in 2000 and has seen it grow to a full 80 hectares, planted in north-south rows of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and a fairly high 10% Petit Verdot. Recent improvements include raising the canopy cover and carrying out a study of the soils and subsoils to ensure viticulture is fully adapted.

Besides work in the vines, they have also completely renovated the winery, creating a 2000m2 beechwood-framed space which now contains 72 gravity-fed tanks. The grapes are triple-sorted, and moved without being pumped into the vats.

This is a rich and structure wine, with a gentle spice evident even when young, both from the Petit Verdot and the gentle toasting on the oak barrels (which are around 55% new each vintage).

Caroline Frey, director, is joined by consultant Denis Dubourdieu, and technical director Patrick Moulin. Second wine is Moulin de La Lagune, and there is also a charming ‘third wine’, Mademoiselle L, which is made from vines a good way further up the Medoc peninsula.
