Tasting Note

Ripe plums, black cherry liquor and dried cassis provide sumptuous aromas while hints of orange peel, toasted allspice, fresh cinnamon bark and dried tea leaf beckon. A velvety, Merlot-driven mid-palate slowly opens into a multi-layered bouquet of red fruit, toasted baking spices, truffle and coffee bean. An iron-rich minerality provides a taut, complex structure, while fine-grained tannins and firm acidity grip the palate to sustain a long and elegant finish. This classic expression of Saint-Émilion offers a dual brightness and sophistication that will continue to improve for years to come.

Product Notes

Château Lassegue Saint-Emilion Grand Cru is a prestigious French wine hailing from Bordeaux's Saint-Emilion region. Combining the power of Merlot with the finesse of Cabernet Franc, this extraordinary blend exhibits a rich, deep purple colour, seducing the palate with voluptuous, well-rounded fruit flavours. It elegantly balances delicate raspberry hints with undernotes of truffle and spice. Its careful ageing in French oak adds depth and structure, while its long finish leaves lingering tastes of cocoa and dark berries. This sophisticated wine is a prime expression of Lassegue's vineyards, offering a pure, classic taste of Bordeaux.
