Saint-Emilion Grand Cru

Enjoyed this En Priemur and it is performing well in bottle. Medium intensity plum in colour, touch of cloves and iodine, with appealingly supple raspberry and red cherry fruit, finishing with saffran and white pepper spice. The 54th vintage in his career for winemaker Pierre Seillan (who has just handed over to his son but is still very much a big presence), and his 19th here at Lassegue. Harvest September 29 to October 14, 3.64ph. 70% new oak, no chaptilisaiton.

Inside Bordeaux

A blend of 55% Merlot, 37% Cabernet Franc, and 8% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2021 Lassegue is deep garnet-purple in color. The nose opens with notions of stewed plums, dried cherries, and mint tea, with underlying wafts of iodine and sweaty leather. The medium-bodied palate delivers just enough soft-spoken fruit with chewy tannins and a touch of rusticity to the finish.

Deep plum colour, confident and dominant Cabernet aromatics, violets, bright vivid fleshy dark fruits, crushed raspberries, plum, greengage and even touches of cherry pit, squid ink, liqourice root, perhaps a little more bright and crunchy fruit than in richer years, but a success. 60% new oak for ageing, 15 different forests origin for the barrels. Pierre Seillan winemaker, harvest September 24 to October 5., 3.60 pH, 45hl/h yield (after sorting), with just 0.3% chaptilisation. A great classic St Emilion.

Mouthwatering from the first moments, showcasing vibrant dark berry fruits shot through with fennel, red saffran, smoked earth, aniseed, gooseberry. One of my favourite wines of the vintage in St Emilion, just so full of pleasure, will easily last for decades but not need to wait too long before starting to enjoy. 50% in new oak barrels. harvest September 18 to 28. Highest amount of Cabernet Franc in this wine to date, at 50% of the total blend, 3.67ph.

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2022 Lassegue opens with subtle notes of juicy red and black plums and mulberries before revealing a perfume of red roses, star anise, and dusty soil with a waft of powdered cinnamon. The medium to full-bodied palate has beautiful freshness and grace, with plush tannins and a spicy lift on the finish.

Rch layer of damson and black cherry, raspberry coulis, saffron and white pepper, concetrated fruit while retaining the salinity of limestone, with grip and clear ageing-ability. 60ha estate with old vines on clay-limestone slopes, Nicolas Seillan winemaker, promoted in the 2022 ranking and this is the first vintage able to use it on the label. 52% new oak barrels (from 15 different forest. 3.6pH.
