Wines from the same manufacturer
Lassègue is the essence of opulent ripe and very rich Cabernet Franc with a dense Merlot character plus a hint of Cabernet Sauvignon.
This wine expresses a delicacy, elegance and a high complexity. With a voluptuous, layered and complex structure, this wine is already showing an accomplished character, which reflects the limestone and clay of the hillsides.The ornate sundials which adorn the facade of Lassègue, a beautiful 17th century Château, are symbols of the perfect sun exposure of our vineyard and the theme of our label.
Composition: 60% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Franc, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon
Alcohol: 13,2 %
Total acidity: 3,35
PH: 3,78
Barrel aging: 15 months
An excellent vintage for Lassègue! This vintage can be compared to the breathtaking 1990 Bordeaux, which came after a beautiful 1988 and a magnificent 1989. The 2010 vintage is even brighter, richer, and more full-bodied than the legendary 2005. This wine is deep and profound in color, with a beautiful brilliance. The nose reveals very ripe black fruit. In the mouth, power and elegance are intertwined with notes of cassis, black cherry, and blackberry balanced by juniper and clove spice and surrounded by illusive minerality. They will not only drink well upon release, but should age many years to come.

Chateau Lassegue
The village is located on the right bank of the river Dordogne, next to the town of Libourne, in the Bordeaux viticulture area. It is said that the tradition of winemaking in Saint-Émilion goes back to Roman occupation of the area. In the 4th century, the Latin poet Ausone lived in a villa on the present site of the Grand Cru with the same name. The village takes its name from a monk named Émilion who took refuge in the 8th century in a cave in the area. The village of Saint-Émilion and its vineyards are part of the Unesco World cultural heritage.
