Critic reviews
"A blend of 50% Merlot, 43% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% Petit Verdot, the 2025 La Lagune is gourmand and lively, offering up aromas of cassis, mulberries, flowers and lilac. Medium- to full-bodied, layered and enveloping, it's round and fleshy, has good depth at the core and is framed by velvety tannins, concluding with a long, delicate and floral finish. The estate appears to be moving toward a more precise expression, where purity of fruit and finer tannin definition come to the fore. This is one to follow. "
Yohan Castaing, April 2026, RobertParker.com
"The 2025 La Lagune has a quite ripe and sorbet-fresh nose, mainly red fruit infused with blood orange, even a hint of marmalade. Quite bright, and what seems like a low SO2 vinification. The palate is medium-bodied with smooth tannins, fine acidity, and a dash of black pepper towards the cohesive finish. It just maybe dips a yard or two before the finish line, but this will be a thoroughly enjoyable La Lagune."
Neal Martin, May 2026, Vinous.com
"The 2025 La Lagune is fabulous—one of the clear sleepers of the vintage. Bright red-toned fruit, tobacco, cedar, mint and dried flowers convey tremendous intensity with no excess weight. The 2025 is brisk, energetic and loaded with character. Don't miss it. Tasted three times."
Antonio Galloni, April 2026, Vinous.com
"Black currants with a touch of violets on the nose. Medium- to full-bodied with subtle concentration, charm, freshness and a consistent finish of dark fruit. The wine reveals itself slowly."
James Suckling, April 2026, JamesSuckling.com
"Red and black fruits, dried herbs, tobacco, and some spicy wood all emerge from the 2025 Château La Lagune, a great Haut-Médoc estate that's always worth your time and money. Medium-bodied on the palate, it has a pure, graceful mouthfeel, fine tannins, and a good finish. It's a more understated, elegant, balanced, and almost pretty 2025 that should shine with just short-term cellaring. I'd happily buy a case."

"Well made, sleek and deep dark fruits, cassis pastille, intense with a cushion of air. A very impressive vintage here, nuanced and well structured. Delphine Frey, Director of the Frey family estates, yield 20hl/ha. Xavier Moragues is the cellar master and technical director, with the estate for the past 18 months. New use of foudres and porcelain jars alongside oak barrels during the ageing, and the vineyard has also returned to its historic 1855 classified surface."

"Gorgeous aromatics – bright red fruit and pink flowers. Tannic and a bit compact right now with dark liquorice and salty stone aspects. Quite tight and firm, I like the cool freshness and purity of the crisp, blueberry fruit but the structure is at the fore right now and this has some compaction. Spiced liquorice and tobacco on the finish. A yield of 20hl/ha. 3.73pH."

"(Haut-Médoc; 41% Cabernet Sauvignon; 50% Merlot; 9% Petit Verdot; a final yield of 20 hl/ha; 14% alcohol; certified organic and biodynamic; tasted twice, first at the UGCB press tasting at the Cité du Vin and then at La Lagune with Delphine Frey). The competition may have intensified amongst the grands crus classés of the Haut-Médoc appellation, but La Lagune is capable of raising its game too - as this shows so effortlessly. An utterly beautiful wine of shimmering purity and beguiling charm. It seems to capture the very essence of natural florality. This is also one of the most cedar-enrobed wines of the UGCB tasting, with a lovely dark plungepool core of dark berries and damsons, a touch of walnut and a little graphite. There's more intensity to that signature La Lagune florality than perhaps ever before in an en primeur sample - here dark bulby blooms like peonies and irises - and, as the wine breathes we find more and more black cherry. Very true to its identity and very dynamic in the mid-palate this is a gorgeous and sumptuous wine and the star of the appellation once again, albeit in the face of that growing (and welcome) competition!
