Since the Frey family (also owners of Jaboulet in the Rhône Valley) assumed control of Château La Lagune in 1999, the wines produced at this Grand Cru Classé Haut-Médoc estate have seen a massive increase in quality and consistency. The 2006 release is a medium bodied red with sweet red and black fruit, forest floor notes and gentle hints of oak.
