CHATEAU LA LAGUNE 3EME GRAND CRU CLASSE, HAUT MEDOC 2009 
The earliest vintage in the past ten years, 2020 began with a mild and rainy winter, favouring bud break three weeks early and an accelerated growth of the vegetation in the spring. The frost of March 27 damaged the buds and impacted the yields of the whites. While heavy rainfall marked the period between late May and early June, the particularly hot month of July was followed by a very dry month of August. The deep rooting of the vines, which are 40 years old on average, coupled with regular ploughing, have made it possible to fight against severe water stress. The lenient weather conditions at the end of August and the beginning of September allowed for the harvest of perfectly ripe grapes in good sanitary condition.
Pale gold; rich, supple wine, moderate in acidity; dry, broad, quite mouth filling, but lacking real vitality;
plenty of matter, moderate length across the palate, and modest in scope and definition for its status. Good
light length to finish.
