Chateau Lassegue 2020

Château Lassègue 2020 is an exceptionally elegant and powerful Right Bank Bordeaux that beautifully expresses the complexity of its clay and limestone terroir. Pouring a deep, shiny purple-black hue, it requires a little swirling to unlock an inviting and highly fragrant bouquet of fresh blackberries, black raspberries, and redcurrants, seamlessly interwoven with complex notes of licorice, rose petals, charcoal, and a subtle waft of woodsmoke. On the palate, this vintage is medium to full-bodied, offering a generous concentration of juicy dark and red fruits supported by a firm structure of finely powdered, ripe tannins and brilliant mid-palate tension. Showing remarkable balance and precision, it culminates in a long, persistent, and earthy finish driven by exquisite minerality, making it a classic expression of the estate with tremendous cellaring potential.

Food Pairing: Pairs perfectly with roasted leg of lamb, grilled beef tenderloin, savory meat pies, earthy wild mushroom dishes, or firm aged cheeses.
