Lassègue is the essence of opulent ripe and rich Cabernet Franc, a wine of great elegance and finesse. The addition of dense Merlot and a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon adds softness and roundness to the wine. With a voluptuous, layered and complex structure, the wine shows an accomplished character, which reflects the limestone and clay of the hillsides.
Vinous
- v89-91
Good deep ruby-red. Aromas of cassis, blackberry, licorice and violet are complemented by sweet chocolatey oak and spices. Enters the mouth fine-grained and broad, with a slightly medicinal cast to its dark berry and licorice flavors, then turns a bit tight at the back. Finishes with tongue-coating tannins and lingering notes of licorice and violet.
Wine Spectator

Offers a fleshy, extracted feel, with steeped plum and blackberry fruit carried by loamy tannins. Tobacco and bittersweet cocoa notes fill in on the finish. Good underlying acidity should help this stretch out a bit more with modest cellaring. Drink now through 2018. 5,500 cases made.
