Château Lassègue |
| Vineyard: |
The sundials that adorn the façade of Château Lassègue bear witness to the exceptional sunshine enjoyed by the vines of this sumptuous 18th century property; they are the ones that embody the image of our wines. Lassègue is all the voluptuousness of Saint-Émilion wines. Planted on clay-limestone soils that provide fruit and minerality, the old vines benefit from a south/south-west exposure extending from the high hillsides 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: |
The Lassègue has a beautiful color. Upon opening, the bouquet expresses a remarkable freshness, then upon aeration evokes notes of nutmeg, white pepper and red fruits, all in a delicate and very airy harmony. On the palate we find this very pleasant freshness and the tannins are already well melted. The expression always presents spices enriching the complexity which continues in a very beautiful balance. With a length full of energy and a vibrant finish, this wine also has a reserve of aromatic evolution. |
