Coming from 100% Merlot (all the Cabernet Franc went to the Grand Vin), the 2022 La Gravette De Certan comes from younger vines and spent 18 months in 50% new French oak. It's a forward, sexy second wine that has a ripe, voluptuous style in its red and black fruits, truffly earth, camphor, and flowery incense. Beautiful textured and medium to full-bodied, with solid, polished tannins and terrific overall balance, it's perfect for drinking any time over the coming 15 years or so.Inc. GSTSG$563.97 -

The 2014 La Gurgue is bold, powerful and delicious. Succulent red cherry, plum, tobacco, smoke, dried flowers and licorice add character. Plush and inviting, but with a good backbone of tannin and acidity, the 2014 will drink well for a number of years.Inc. GSTSG$326.35 -

Just as it was from barrel, the 2017 La Gurgue is a rich, powerful wine. Dark red cherry, red plum, cedar, spice, tobacco, licorice and mocha give this hearty Margaux plenty of character as well as personality. I especially admire the wine's density and sheer depth.Inc. GSTSG$395.10 -

The 2020 La Gurgue is a rich, luscious wine deeply informed by tiny yields of 16 hectoliters per hectare as opposed to 35-40 or so. Plush, silky and voluptuous, the 2020 impresses right out of the gate. Rich red berry fruit, blood orange, pomegranate and spice build effortlessly in the glass. The 2020 has more Petit Verdot in the blend because of shatter in the Cabernet and Merlot. Aging is in 40% new oak, 40% concrete eggs and 20% new oak. It's a sleeper in this vintage.Inc.

The 2021 La Gurgue is a deep, almost shockingly potent, wine. A blast of dark cherry, plum, mocha, spice and licorice hits the palate. This flamboyant, generous Margaux is sure to find many admirers. The 2021 is naturally still coming together, but it is hugely promising. The tannins just need a bit of polish here.Inc. GSTSG$332.89 -

The 2016 Le Haye has a playful bouquet with orange sorbet laced red berry fruit, more open and generous than its appellation peers. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, supple tannin. This is quite saturated in style, with candied orange peel lacing the pretty, almost Margaux-like finish. This is a delight. Tasted at the Cru Bourgeois tasting in London.Inc. GSTSG$304.76 -

The 2017 La Haye is gorgeous. Soft, floral and refined, La Haye shows the more restrained side of Saint-Estèphe. Crushed red berry, spice and floral notes are all beautifully lifted throughout. The 2017 is classy and polished to the core, which makes it a total sleeper in this vintage. The blend is Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and, unusually, Malbec.Inc. GSTSG$271.85 -

(1x600cl) 1982Wine Advocate (92)
Unquestionably the greatest La Lagune until the 2005 was conceived, the 1982 exhibits a dense ruby/purple-tinged color along with a big, sweet bouquet of black cherries, licorice, smoky toast, and forest floor, a plush, medium to full-bodied mouthfeel, and sweet tannin. It is close to full maturity, and should keep for another decade. Release price: ($65.00/case)Inc. GSTSG$2,440.73 -

The 2014 La Lagune has a tightly wound bouquet that may have closed down since I last tasted it. It begins to open with blackberry, graphite and wet limestone scents, quite strict and focused, but very well defined and showing great clarity. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, and density with a little chalkiness showing towards the second half. I like the tension and energy, lingering long in the mouth. It will need several years in bottle but it will be worth the wait. Tasted at the La Lagune vertical at the château.Inc. GSTSG$1,419.09 -
