Vinous - Antonio Galloni (86-88)
The 2019 La Haye is a plump, juicy Saint-Estèphe that will drink well right out of the gate. Cedar, tobacco and earthy accents add lovely aromatic complexity. The 2019 is not terribly complex, and some angular contours remain, but it is quite good for what it is - a tasty Cru Bourgeois to enjoy in its youth.Inc. TAX€211.02 -

The 2020 La Haye has a slightly herbaceous nose, although there is decent black fruit mixed with mulch/earthy aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit and fine acidity. Quite mineral-driven, culminating in a fresh, tensile finish. One of the appellation’s hidden gems.Inc. TAX€204.94 -

The 2021 La Haye has a perfumed, graphite-tinged bouquet, quite Pauillac in style and nicely proportioned. The palate is medium-bodied with firm grippy tannins and a little chewy, leading to a muscular finish. This will need to muster more finesse by bottling time, but there is some potential here.Inc.

(1x600cl) 1982Wine Advocate (92)
Unquestionably the greatest La Lagune until the 2005 was conceived, the 1982 exhibits a dense ruby/purple-tinged color along with a big, sweet bouquet of black cherries, licorice, smoky toast, and forest floor, a plush, medium to full-bodied mouthfeel, and sweet tannin. It is close to full maturity, and should keep for another decade. Release price: ($65.00/case)Inc. TAX€1,820.05 -
(12x75cl) 2000Wine Spectator (89)

James Suckling (95)
This is very tight and closed still but shows a beautiful line of tannins and freshness. It’s full-bodied,with structure and length. Light tea. Powerful and long. Needs a year or two to open and soften.Inc. TAX€1,273.46 -
James Suckling (91)

Wine Advocate (93)
One of the most beautiful wines of the vintage, the dark ruby/purple-colored La Lagune exhibits sweet cassis, camphor, truffle and white chocolate notes presented in a dense, medium to full-bodied, silky textured personality. Filled with purity, finesse, elegance and authoritative flavor intensity, this 2008 is already drinkable and should continue to evolve for 15+ years.Inc. TAX€957.86 -
James Suckling (96)
This shows an enchanting nose of roses, violets and other flowers. It's also fruity but very subtle. A full-body, super-structured red with an excellent backbone of ripe yet firm tannins. Goes on for minutes. Don’t touch for five or six years. Try in 2019.Inc. TAX€1,061.96 -
Vinous - Neal Martin (92)
The 2014 La Lagune has a tightly wound bouquet that may have closed down since I last tasted it. It begins to open with blackberry, graphite and wet limestone scents, quite strict and focused, but very well defined and showing great clarity. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, and density with a little chalkiness showing towards the second half. I like the tension and energy, lingering long in the mouth. It will need several years in bottle but it will be worth the wait. Tasted at the La Lagune vertical at the château.Inc. TAX€1,006.85 -

Decanter (93)
Now certified organic, and converting to biodynamics from this year. It displays a confident weight to the damson fruits that are hugely elegant and well placed. A little closed when tasted on two occasions, and the high Petit Verdot content of this wine is no doubt contributing to its slight austerity at this stage, but it also brings that beautifully welcome whoosh of black fruit spicing. Very good quality, elegant and long-ageing, just a dash below the exceptional 2015.Inc. TAX€732.96 -

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (92)
The 2017 La Lagune is powerful and dense, but also a bit rough around the edges. Tobacco, game, licorice, smoke and dried flowers along with big, coarse tannins give the 2017 its decidedly hearty feel. Even so, there is quite a bit of complexity and plenty of personality. The 2017 is not exactly finessed, but it has a lot going on. The 2017 needs time to come together, but it is promising, that is for sure.Inc. TAX€311.28 -
Vinous - Neal Martin (95)
The 2019 La Lagune offers exquisite transparency on the nose - one of the most terroir-expressive Pessac-Léognan wines this vintage. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins, taut and fresh, quite saline with a very integrated and poised finish that lingers in the mouth. Wonderful - could this be the best La Lagune in years? Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting.Inc. TAX€219.59 -

This is long and fresh with a linear feeling to the rich fruit, showing plums, redcurrants and spices, with chocolate and walnuts. Medium to full body. Fine tannins. This is the first year being certified biodynamic from Demeter and furthermore, La Lagune is always excellent in hot years.Inc. TAX€642.46
