2008 Chateau La Lagune (Magnum)

£150.00

The 2008 Chateau La Lagune Magnum is from the Haut-Medoc region of Bordeaux, France. This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot grapes offers a deep ruby color with aromas of blackberry, cassis, and vanilla. On the palate, it is full-bodied with well-structured tannins and a long, smooth finish. This vintage is considered to be one of the best of the decade for this vineyard, displaying a perfect balance between fruit and acidity. It is recommended to decant before serving to fully enjoy its complexity.

This pairs incredibly well with a variety of meat dishes, such as roasted lamb, beef tenderloin, or grilled steak. Its tannic structure and bold flavours also make it a good match for hearty stews or casseroles, such as beef bourguignon or coq au vin. If you prefer vegetarian options, try pairing this wine with a rich and savoury mushroom risotto or a vegetable lasagna with plenty of tomato sauce and cheese. Additionally, aged cheeses like cheddar or Gouda would be banging with this beauty!

    Bordeaux

Bordeaux really is the oh là là of French wine. A UNSECO world heritage site, this place is home to the world's most expensive wines, and for good reason! With over 6,000 wineries and 57 appellations it can be relatively complicated to get your head around. Napoleon was the man who categorized the best wineries in Bordeaux to make it easier to identify the crème de la crème. Incredibly, the classification of 1855 is still in force today. There are five different cru classification systems, that include 88 wineries from Grand Premier Cru to Premières Crus and beyond, with most of the classified regions situated in the great Médoc region. Merlot is the most planted grape, and no surprise that 89% of the all Bordeaux wine is red. However white wine has always been an integral part of the history of Bordeaux and was more widely produced than red wine until the mid 1950's. Primarily famous for sweeter styles like Sauternes, dry white wine is blooming due to increased production and consumer demand.
