The sundials adorning the façade of Château Lassègue bear witness to the exceptional sunshine enjoyed by the vines of this sumptuous 18th-century estate; they embody the very essence of our wines. Lassègue represents all the voluptuousness of Saint-Émilion wines. Planted on clay-limestone soils that impart fruit and minerality, the old vines benefit from a south/southwest exposure extending from the high slopes of Saint-Émilion. It is a wine that is both powerful and elegant, marked by the delicate aromas of Cabernet Franc, the concentration of old Merlot vines, and a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon.

Tasting Notes: Lassègue has a beautiful color. Upon opening, the bouquet expresses remarkable freshness, then, with aeration, reveals notes of nutmeg, white pepper, and red fruit, all in a delicate and very ethereal harmony. On the palate, this very pleasant freshness is evident, and the tannins are already well integrated. The ever-present expression of spice enriches the complexity, which unfolds in a beautifully balanced way. Boasting an energetic length and a vibrant finish, this wine also possesses the potential for further aromatic development.
