Winemaker's Tasting Notes: The Lassègue 2013 shows a beautiful color. The nose displays a remarkable freshness immediately upon opening, and with aeration notes of nutmeg, white pepper, and red fruit emerge, harmonious and ethereal. The freshness returns on the palate with well-integrated tannins, and the spice gives an added complexity to this balanced wine. With an energetic and vibrant finish, the 2013 is elegant to drink today, with plenty of room to age for additional aromatic development.
"It is in the most difficult vintages that you see the winemaker's hand; the length on this wine comes not from the depth of the fruit but from the gentle spicy notes of nutmeg and white pepper. Raspberry leaf and smoked earth comes through as things open. Helped in this vintage by the fact that the Seillans live on site at Serilhan, making it easier to treat at weekends, and this was a vintage when you certainly needed to do that."- Decanter.
Varietal: 60% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon.
