Chateau La Lagune 2016

94-95 points James Suckling

This is wonderful and perhaps the best La Lagune since 1982. Full body, yet the texture is amazing giving it a plush, silky texture that makes it formed and beautiful. Thick and melting in the mouth. Lots of forest floor, tar and black currant character. Very persistent finish. Energy. From organically grown grapes.

Chateau Serilhan 2017

92 Points James Suckling

This is firm and silky with a solid core of blueberry and dark-chocolate character. Medium to full body and a linear finish. Driven and focused red.

Chateau Phelan Segur 2018

95-96 Points James Suckling

This is the most powerful Phélan Segur I have ever tasted. A solid core of dense fruit and layered tannins that are so refined and polished. Remains fresh, energetic and bright. Yet, there’s plenty of harmony and balance.
