The 2016 Château Lassègue Saint-Émilion Grand Cru is a fantastic showing which shows a wonderful combination of ripe fruit and earthy terroir driven character. It begins with a beautiful aromatic profile of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, loam, exotic spices, herbs, and hints of cigar box that all take shape. On the palate this is medium to full-bodied and nicely structured with gorgeous polished tannins that create a wonderful texture. It goes on to display excellent depth, with a ripe core focused around dark fruit and exotic spices that continue to expand beautifully into the supple finish. While this is absolutely delicious now, it also has plenty of potential to age gracefully for years to come.
