‘Perfumed and nicely scented on the nose, fresh rose petals and raspberries. Clean and precise, a lovely clarity to the expression - crystalline with a softly mouthwatering strawberry juicy core - half tangy, half really quite mineral which, when added to the salty tannins, gives quite a chalky, almost dry wet stone ending. It's easy to drink, just missing a touch more spark and vibrancy, but good structure. 2025-2030’ - Georgina Hindle, Decanter, 92/100
‘The 2021 La Lagune is a bold, expressive wine. Macerated dark cherry, tobacco, gravel, incense, cured meats, licorice and worn-in leather give the 2021 notable complexity. A wine of gravitas and brooding depth, this La Lagune is impeccably done. Very fine. 2027-2041’ - Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 92/100
‘Precision and fresh acidities mark the opening of this wine, there is plenty of blueberry and redcurrant fruit, fine tannins with edges of peony, aniseed, fennel and cumin that add depth. An appealing wine with finesse, holding the line within the vintage. 30hl/h yield. 2026-2040’- Jane Anson, janeanson.com, 91/100
‘The 2021 La Lagune has turned out nicely in bottle, unwinding in the glass with aromas of dark berries, cherries, spices and truffles, followed by a medium to full-bodied, velvety and seamless palate with good depth of fruit, lively acids and sweet tannins. 2025-2040’ - William Kelley, Wine Advocate, 91/100
‘The 2021 Château La Lagune is rock-solid, with considerable finesse and elegance as well as medium body, silky, polished tannins, and classic notes of both red and black fruits as well as spicy wood and tobacco. My money is on this ending up being an outstanding wine, and it should have 15+ years of prime drinking’ - Jeb Dunnuck, 89-90+/100
‘Deep crimson. Fragrant and seriously dark-fruited. Pure Cabernet aroma. For the vintage, this has impressive depth of fruit and finely modulated tannins to create a harmonious, fresh and complete wine. Gently leafy and scented on the elegant finish. Lots of refined pleasure here. 2025-2036’ - Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16.5/20
