What you will taste
La Lagune is the first classed growth you meet driving north from the city, and under Caroline Frey's direction it has become one of the Médoc's most graceful wines, farmed organically. The warm 2015 suits it perfectly: violets and cassis, vanilla and licorice, tannins woven fine. Powerful vintages elsewhere shout; this one prefers perfume.
The sommelier’s note
«Forty minutes of air and 17 degrees. Serve it to guests who think all Médoc is stern; watch them convert.»
