Château Lassègue
Chateau Lassègue Red Blend
2022
$85
Description
This is a classic expression of Saint-Émilion, with aromatic Cabernet Franc, plush Merlot and the firm elegance of Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine offers aromas of ripe plums, orange peel, and savory herbs on the nose with a bouquet of red fruit on the palate. The voluptuous fruit, layered with stony, mineral notes, reflects the terroir where it was grown. Firm tannins and balancing acidity give this wine structure to age gracefully for years to come.

The Wine Palate
LPB 12/2025
On the nose of this Bordeaux red wine blend, the richness of merlot complements the extravagance of cabernet franc. After aeration, the bouquet develops subtle notes of cassis and violet. The palate explodes with silky round red and black fruit, while the finish is dominated by black fruit with barely perceptible rounded tannins.

RECENT TASTING NOTES
Gorgeous vivid purple colour in the glass, so vibrant. Smells heady and perfumed with cool and ripe black and blue fruits. Aromatically expressive and alive. Smooth and so supple, clear and pure, the texture is like silk, smooth with amazingly finessed tannins and a real density of flavour. Concentrated, almost thick in terms of texture, this is a rich, full bodied wine with complexity. Well built, fairly broad and muscular, you don't get so much mouthwatering acidity due to the concentration but this is sleek and suave. A great balance between power and seduction with enjoyable mineral, liquorice and dark chocolate aspects. Potent, poised and compelling. Winemaker Nicolas Seilhan Nicolas Seillan winemaker. A yield of 38hl/ha. Harvest 15 September - 1 October. 3.67pH. 100% oak barrels.
