Château Lassègue Saint-Emilion Grand Cru (2014)

Ornate sundials adorn the façade of Château Lassègue, a beautiful 18th century Château. This symbol of perfect sun exposure is the inspiration for our logo and represents the message of our wines. Lassègue is Saint-Émilion at its most opulent. Old vines grow on the south/southwest hills which are the prolongation of the Côte de Saint-Émilion, and whose soils of clay and limestone add exquisite minerality to their fruit. Rich, aromatic Cabernet Franc married to the dense concentration of old vine Merlot and seasoned with a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon results in a wine that is at once powerful and elegant.

The 2014 vintage of Lassègue presents beautifully today with a deep and brilliant color. The bouquet is powerful and still in its youth with notes of spice, licorice and a touch of oak. On the palate, fine-grained tannins unite with a harmony of spices and red fruit to offer a persistent length and complexity. The remarkable freshness and minerality that are the hallmark of this vintage are the perfect expression of the clay and limestone côte of Saint-Émilion.

Blend: 60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon
