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
94 Decanter Explosion of rich turmeric, crushed stone and subtle smoked saffron with touches of grilled almond, and a rich, powerful bramble berry fruit. Lovely chewy tannins also, shot through with pulses of electricity and minerality. You can enjoy this now because the aromatics are already giving so much, but it is sure to age brilliantly for another few decades. Drinking Window: 2022 - 2050
92 Wine Enthusiast The Bordeaux outpost of the Jackson family winery has produced a rich wine in this vintage. It is structured with swathes of ripe black fruits. The tannins promise some serious aging for this complex ripe wine with its solid texture. Drink from 2023.
