The terroir and its micro-crus express their nuances in vintage after vintage. The know-how passed down through the generations, both in the vineyard and during the vinification and blending processes, results in welcoming, authentic wines that are a true reflection of their clay-limestone terroir.
The fresh, delicate aromas of Cabernet Franc are balanced by the voluptuous concentration of the old Merlot vines along with a lingering touch of Cabernet Sauvignon, in wines of elegant power.

CHÂTEAU LASSÈGUE: THE OPULENCE
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.
2014 VINTAGE NOTES
After a mild and wet winter, early spring rains gave way to drier weather, although cooler temperatures slowed down the flowering. Meticulous work was required in the vineyards during summer rainstorms, and veraison was early and relatively drawn-out in these challenging conditions. Fortunately, September brought beautiful weather and the grapes ripened evenly until October arrived, warm and dry, for an excellent harvest between September 29th and October 11th.
TASTING NOTES
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.
