Les Cadrans de Lassègue is a brilliantly clear red Bordeaux wine blend, showing a ruby core and flavors of fresh red fruit. The texture is reflective of its predominant varietal, Merlot, on full display here in its most soft, expansive form. Above all else the wine has balanced fruit. The generous, lifted bouquet, silky texture, and finely integrated tannins make this the perfect wine to enjoy right away. This Bordeaux red wine blend shows bright red fruit that leaps out of the glass. Red cherry and red currant notes are accented with spice aromas. Fresh and elegant, the finesse of the Cabernet Franc gives a linear lift on the palate, with refined tannins and a lively and balanced finish. Pair with rack of lamb, grilled steak, duck breast with cherry compote. This bottled France red blend is 14% alcohol by volume. Located on the Côte de Saint-Émilion, the vineyards of Château Lassègue are blessed with both extraordinary soils and an ideal south/south-west exposition to the sun. In discovering the unique micro-crus of the property, Vigneron Pierre Seillan realized he could produce more than one wine to showcase the diversity of the estate. Pierre and his son, Nicolas, apply their viticultural philosophy of dividing larger vineyards into smaller micro-crus based on variations in soil type and topography. The vineyards are planted to Merlot (60%), Cabernet Franc (35%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (5%), and the vines are 50 to 60 years old. Primarily a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, Les Cadrans de Lassègue, the estate’s second label, is refined and elegant, a beautiful and perfect expression of its fruit.
