Chateau Lassegue Saint Emilion Grand Cru 2016 750 ML

Château Lassègue is located just outside the town of Saint-Émilion, a picturesque fourth-century village known for its Romanesque churches, ancient ruins and steep, narrow streets. The historic château was purchased in 2003 by Jess Jackson and Barbara Banke, who along with Pierre and Monique Seillan, set out to make it one of the premier producers in Saint-Émilion. At Château Lassègue, Pierre, a native of Gascony, applies his viticultural philosophy of dividing larger vineyards into smaller micro-crus based on variations in soil type and topography. The vineyards are planted to Merlot (60%), Cabernet Franc (35%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (5%), and the vines are 40 to 60 years old. Château Lassègue is sophisticated and elegant. It comes from hillside vines planted in limestone soils. Les Cadrans de Lassègue, the estate’s second label, is named after the iconic sundials that adorn the château.
