CHÂTEAU LASSÈGUE: VOLUPTY
The sundials which adorn the facade of Château Lassègue
bear witness to the exceptional sunshine enjoyed by the vines of this sumptuous 18th century
property; they are the ones who embody the image of our wines. Lassègue is all the voluptuousness
of Saint-Émilion wines. Planted on clay and limestone soils which provide fruit and minerality, the
old vines benefit from a south/southwest exposure extending from the high slopes 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 NOTES The Lassègue has a beautiful color. From the opening, the bouquet expresses
remarkable freshness, then upon aeration evokes notes of nutmeg, white pepper and red fruits, all in
a delicate and very airy harmony. In the mouth we find this very pleasant freshness and the tannins
are already well melted. The ever-present expression of spices enriches the complexity which
continues in a very beautiful balance. Endowed with a length full of energy and a vibrant finish, this
wine also has a reserve of aromatic evolution.
