Château La Lagune, Historic winery and château in Ludon-Médoc, France
Château La Lagune is a winery in the Haut-Médoc region featuring classical French architecture from the early 18th century. The property includes vineyards, cellar facilities, and historic buildings that together show how wine has been made here for centuries.
The estate's origins date to the 18th century. After its 1855 classification as a third growth, it declined through the 20th century until Georges Brunet restored it in 1958, when only 4 hectares of vines remained. Champagne Ayala bought it in 1962 and held it for forty years; the Frey family acquired it in 2000, with Caroline Frey taking charge in 2005. The château and garden were listed as monuments historiques in 2011.
The estate produces three wines: the first wine Château La Lagune, the second Moulin de La Lagune, made partly from young vines, and a third cuvée called Mademoiselle L. Since 2008 the vineyard has been farmed biodynamically. In 2018 and 2019 the château served as a filming location for the fourth and fifth seasons of the television show Objectif Top Chef.
The estate lies in Ludon-Médoc, in the Haut-Médoc appellation north of Bordeaux. The château and its garden have been inscribed as monuments historiques since 2011, and the building was used as a filming location for seasons four and five of Objectif Top Chef in 2018 and 2019. Visits concern a working wine estate, so access to the vines and cellars is by prior arrangement rather than open entry.
