Château Lassègue St. Émilion Grand Cru 2013 is a testament to the excellence of the Saint-Émilion terroir and the artistry of the winemaking team. Pouring into the glass, it reveals a deep, garnet-red hue, showcasing its maturity and complexity.
On the nose, this wine offers an enchanting bouquet of ripe dark fruits, including blackberry and plum, intertwined with subtle notes of cedar, tobacco, and a touch of mocha. These aromas create an intricate mosaic of scents that draw you deeper into the glass.
Upon the palate, the Château Lassègue 2013 demonstrates an exquisite fusion of flavors. The dark fruit core is complemented by layers of earthy undertones, graphite, and hints of dried herbs. The tannins, while firm, are well-integrated, providing a structured framework for the wine's nuanced profile.
Critic Ratings
James Suckling Review - Rated 96:
This is so fine and refined with currant, crushed stone, lime stone and fresh mushroom. It’s medium-bodied with fine tannins that run the length of the wine. Minerally finish. Tight and racy. Drink after 2025, but already beautiful.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Review - Rated 92:
The 2019 Lassegue unwinds in the glass with aromas plums, wild berries, pencil shavings and dark chocolate. Medium to full-bodied, deep and lively, with powdery tannins, bright acids and a rather understated, elegant profile for an estate that can often deliver rather dramatic wines, this will reward a little patience.
