The La Lagune (BIO ORGANIC) 2020 from Haut-Médoc, Bordeaux, France is a stunning representation of the region. This vintage, produced by Chateau La Lagune, is truly a testament to their dedication to creating outstanding, organic wines. Upon pouring, the deep ruby color catches the eye and the nose is met with a bouquet of red fruit, including cherries and raspberries, as well as subtle hints of herbs and spices. On the palate, the wine is elegant and well-structured, with a perfect balance of tannins and acidity. Notes of blackcurrants, blackberries, and a touch of oak make for a complex and satisfying experience. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a pleasant taste of dark fruits and a touch of smokiness. This La Lagune is a true delight for any wine enthusiast.

Sweet, blackcurrants and cream sort of nose – really quite harmonious. Fresh too. Nicely judged and very smooth, even if not for the very long term. Score: 16.5/20 Jancis Robinson

One of Australia's favourite Pauillac's and favourite Bordeaux's in general year after year. It isn't hard to see why Château Batailley is held is such high esteem with the consistent quality produced year after year. The 2009 marks a high water mark though with Batailley which has seen the wine be regarded with the very best this estate has ever produced. While trademark formidable tannin is still evident, the softness and roundness of the fruit is just a wonder to experience. Will still age for considerable time, most likely 20+ years.
