Les Cadrans de Lassègue 2022 is a Saint-Émilion Grand Cru from Château Lassègue, crafted by winemaker Nicolas Seillan on the sun-drenched côte slopes of St. Émilion, where old vines (40-60 years average) thrive in exceptional clay-limestone soils. This elegant second wine, representing 30-40% of the estate's production, blends 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon from foothill blocks, delivering finesse, balance, and aging potential up to 10 years. Meticulous viticulture preserves freshness and complexity, making it an accessible ambassador for the estate's Grand Vin.

Aromas of nutmeg, white pepper, and vibrant red fruits mingle with earthy hints of forest floor, blackberry, and subtle oak.

Deep ruby hues unveil crunchy red fruits, cherry, cassis, and dark chocolate, laced with refined tannins, lively acidity, and notes of vanilla, tobacco, and minerals for a round, elegant mouthfeel.

Persistent freshness persists with fine, resolved tannins, savory spice, and a mineral lift, leaving a balanced, harmonious close.

This wine captures the essence of St. Émilion's rare côte terroir—only 3% of vineyards—with southwest-facing slopes fostering deep roots and nutrient-rich soils for unparalleled elegance and power. As a thoughtfully selected second label, it showcases young vines and foothill freshness alongside the Grand Vin's complexity, earning acclaim for its vibrant harmony and nuanced depth.
