Inside Bordeaux

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.

Beautifully fresh aromatics, this is a big wine, full of depth and velvety plush texture, rich mouthfeel through the mid palate, with a mix of red and black fruits along with mandarin peel and pomegranate that add freshness. Careful precision, juicy expression of the fruit, this draws out through the palate with sappy tannins and a touch of astringency on the finish. The viticulture, as you would expect here, was precise and informed by their long experience in California, no trimming, with high canopy for the shading, with as little interference as possible (they say 'don't demand too much of the vine in these kind of vintages'). 38hl/h yields, helped by vines with an average age of 60 years, 65% new oak, 15 different forests, 24ha estate. No added acidity. 20th anniversary vintage of the Seillan and Jackson family at Lassegue, first year as Grand Cru Classé. 3.67ph, harvest 15 to October1. Nicolas Seillan now director.

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.

The 2020 Lassegue is a blend of 60% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep garnet-purple colored, it comes skipping out with notes of blueberry pie, baked plums, and spice cake, plus hints of fragrant soil and potpourri. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers chewy tannins and a refreshing line to support the black fruit layers, finishing long and spicy.
