Classification for Lassegue in this vintage, two decades after the Jackson-Banke family bought the estate and asked Pierre Seillan to head things up - he has now handed over to his son Nicolas Seillan. Their experience over in California means that hot and dry seasons are not a surprise to this winemaking team, and this takes the high spice and concentrated black fruits in its stride. It's big and muscular, but picks up the pace through the palate, ensuring enough slate and pumice texture to stop things getting heavy at any point. Powerful, concentrated, impressive. 65% new oak for ageing. (01/2025)
