On the nose, expect a refined mix of blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, graphite and subtle floral and spice notes, with the oak adding gentle nuance rather than dominance.\n\nOn the palate, La Lagune is usually medium to full-bodied with firm but well-integrated tannins, lively freshness and a precise, mineral edge. The finish is long and composed, suggesting good aging potential over the next decade or more, depending on the final blend and cellar conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLa Lagune is located in the Haut-Médoc, where gravelly soils and the tempering influence of the Gironde help the vines ripen slowly and evenly.
