Description
A final blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 10% Petit Verdot from the Frey family, the 2005 is a gorgeous La Lagune, and one of the first great ones under the Frey administration. This wine has a dense ruby/purple color, a beautiful nose of sandalwood, black raspberries, and cassis, silky sweet tannin, medium to full body, and a textured, long, pure mouthfeel and finish. This wine is probably 3-4 years away from prime-time drinking, but it should evolve gorgeously for another 20-25 years.

Winery
拉拉貢葡萄園佔地80公頃,Caroline多年來致力於建立尊重環境的葡萄栽培,基於有機和生物動力農業的實踐。最重要的是保護風土、土壤和葡萄藤,以及在那裡工作的葡萄種植者的健康。2013年開始正式轉向有機轉換,計劃在2016年收穫時獲得認證。這種適應每個地塊的自然方法在葡萄酒的質量中起著根本作用。它使水果能夠從土壤中汲取風土的所有複雜性和精緻,並將其還原給我們。
La Lagune vineyard covers 80 hectares, where Caroline has been working for many years to establish viticulture that respects the environment, based on practices from organic and biodynamic agriculture. It is above all a question of preserving the terroirs, the soils and the vines, but also the health of the winegrowers who work there. The official transition to organic conversion was initiated in 2013, with certification planned for the 2016 harvest. This natural approach, adapted to each plot, plays a fundamental role in the quality of the wines. It allows the fruit to draw from the soil all the complexity and finesse of a terroir, to restore them to us.
