Chateau La Lagune, Haut-Medoc 2021 (1x75cl)

La Lagune is one of the Haut-Médoc names that regularly turns up on Hong Kong dinner tables — familiar enough that people nod when they see the label, without being a price you have to think twice about.

Decant it 45 minutes or so while you're still cooking. It sits comfortably with beef, lamb, or a Sunday roast, and it's an easy gift for someone who drinks Bordeaux regularly.

Tasting notes

Haut-Médoc blends typically show blackcurrant and plum with cedar and a hint of pencil lead, medium to firm tannins, and a dry, structured finish.
