Wine:
The 2019 red Haut-Médoc Château La Lagune is a wine of great finesse, with a characteristic style, full of charm and elegance, with aromas of violets, black fruits, and chocolate. The precision and generosity of the vintage are a perfect match, creating a dense and powerful wine that is very sensual, with a subtle saline touch on the finish; it is undoubtedly ready for long years of aging.
