Château Lassègue
About Château Lassègue
A beautiful 18th-century property found in the southwest hills of Saint-Émilion commune, Château Lassègue is blessed with perfect sun exposure, incidentally, the inspiration for their emblem, producing one of the most opulent and rich Merlot-based clarets in the appellation. Apart from its ideal sun exposure which guarantees optimal phenolic ripeness, the soil here is mostly clay and limestone planted with 50-60-year-old vines. There is little doubt that this combination of terroir has almost limitless potential, and the capable estate gives rise to wines of exquisite minerality and impeccable balance.

The 2018 Lassègue has a really gorgeous bouquet of luscious dark cherry fruit, cassis, crushed violets and vanilla pod. It becomes increasingly floral with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied and sweet with supple tannins. Licorice and brown spices filter through the black fruit, leading to a satin-textured finish. Very seductive and quite heady, this is a Saint-Émilion that clearly has ambitions, though overall I find it just a little too sweet.Inc. VAT£290.09
