Lassegue 2020

Lassegue

Case Format: 6x75cl

Max score: 95.0

A true vigneron’s wine, Château Lassègue benefits from sun-drenched vineyards that host deep clay, chalk and limestone soils, with vines that average more than 40 years of age. The 24-hectare vineyards comprise Merlot (c.60%), Cabernet Franc (c.25%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (c.15%). After harvesting, maturation takes place in 50-70% new oak barrels. The result is a wine that draws on the fresh, elegant aromas of Cabernet Franc which are balanced by the voluptuous concentration of the old Merlot vines. Château Lassègue is best after about 4-6 years of ageing, with peak maturing reaching between 4-15 years.

Lisa Perrotti-Brown

Deep purple-black colored, the 2020 Lassegue needs a little swirling to begin, to unlock bright, cheery scents of fresh blackberries, black raspberries and redcurrants, plus hints of black cherry preserves, charcoal, woodsmoke and underbrush with a waft of tapenade. The medium to full-bodied palate has a firm structure of ripe, rounded tannins and just enough freshness to support the generous black fruits, finishing long and earthy.

Jane Anson

A measured yet powerful grip holds interest from beginning to end of the palate. This is just dripping with salinity from crushed stones, graphite and slate - a physical presence that balances beautifully with the fleshy black cherry and damson fruits, and the chocolate shavings. An excellent quality Lassegue, hard hitting and muscular but with pace and persistency. 52% new oak barrels (from 15 different forests - always a key signature of this estates ageing policy). 3.6pH, average vine age between 50 and 60 years old.
