Château La Lagune

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 traces its origins to the 16th century, when Dutch engineers began draining the marsh wetlands to make the land suitable for farming. This drainage work laid the foundation for the wine production that continues to this day.

The name refers to the lagoon-like wetlands that once covered this land, reflecting how the area was transformed through human effort. Visitors can sense this history in the elegant spaces that have hosted winemaking traditions for generations.

Visitors can take guided tours through the vineyards and cellars to see how wine is made. The best time to visit is outside of harvest season, when the work is less intense and the grounds feel more open.

The winery experiments with grape varieties from different regions, creating unusual blends that go beyond the traditional local grapes. These attempts show how modern winemakers combine classical methods with new ideas.
