Chateau Lassegue 2016

The Lassègue 2016 is an outstanding vintage that displays concentration and power while retaining balance and freshness, showcasing the wine’s clay and limestone terroir in the context of an exceptional year.It displays a deep, crystalline color and a bright violet-ruby rim. The nose is expressive of crunchy ripe red and black fruits, flint, rose petal and violet.The palate strikes immediately with a density of texture, balanced and lifted by bright acidity and freshness of fruit, which gives way to notes of spice underpinned by silky, elegant tannins. The long finish is driven by vibrant acidity, bright fruit, and a chalk dust-like minerality.An outstanding vintage with excellent potential for bottle ageing.93 Points - Wine Enthusiast
