2015 VINTAGE NOTES

The favorable climatic conditions of the 2015 vintage at Château Lassègue

benefited this exceptional wine. After a first rainy and then cold winter, the spring

was dry with relatively high temperatures, allowing early and even flowering. The

beginning of the summer was particularly warm, with the rain showers that came in

August a welcome respite. As a result, veraison was able to finish and maturation to

launch. The good weather during the grape harvest, which took place from

September 21st to October 7th, concluded the preparation of a top vintage.

TASTING NOTES

Ripe plums, black cherry liquor and dried cassis provide sumptuous aromas while

hints of orange peel, toasted allspice, fresh cinnamon bark and dried tea leaf

beckon. A velvety, Merlot-driven mid-palate slowly opens into a multi-layered

bouquet of red fruit, toasted baking spices, truffle and coffee bean. An iron-rich

minerality provides a taut, complex structure, while fine-grained tannins and firm

acidity grip the palate to sustain a long and elegant finish. This classic expression of

Saint-Émilion offers a dual brightness and sophistication that will continue to

improve for years to come.
