2021 Château Lassègue

The 2021 Lassègue has a high-toned bouquet with black cherries, bergamot and light Earl Grey scents. The oak here is present but well-integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with sapid black fruit laced with white pepper and graphite. Quite harmonious, this is a sleek Saint-Émilion with finely pitched acidity, a delineated finish and sufficient sapidity to drag you back—a sterling effort.

A wine with pureness and finesse, showing wonderful length and brightness. Dark berries, cherries and dried citrus. It's long and lively. Orange peel and other citrus notes at the end. Lots of minerality. (05/2022)

The 2021 Château Lassegue is impressive and has plenty of heft and richness, while still showing the finesse and elegance, as well as freshness, that are the hallmarks of the vintage. Ripe blackberries, cherries, scorched earth, and graphite define the bouquet, and it's medium to full-bodied, has a beautiful mid-palate, ripe, polished tannins, and a great finish. It's well worth seeking out, and I suspect I'd be a happy buyer. (11/2022)

A blend of 55% Merlot, 37% Cabernet Franc, and 8% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2021 Lassegue is deep garnet-purple in color. The nose opens with notions of stewed plums, dried cherries, and mint tea, with underlying wafts of iodine and sweaty leather. The medium-bodied palate delivers just enough soft-spoken fruit with chewy tannins and a touch of rusticity to the finish. (04/2024)
