Vignobles Lassagne

Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot are used in equal proportions. The red has tangy freshness, pure fruit and creamy, fine, velvety tannins on a medium-bodied palate. Maturation takes place in concrete vats, and alcohol is thirteen and a half percent. The family property dates to nineteen fifty-two and covers forty-eight hectares across Bordeaux, Lussac-Saint-Émilion and Lalande-de-Pomerol.

Blackcurrant, coffee, graphite, oak and undergrowth define the aromatic profile. The dry, full-bodied palate is generous, with present acidity and balanced wood. Structure and a polished texture accompany spice, pepper, dense black fruit and rich tannins. The fruit comes from vines averaging sixty-five years of age, and maturation lasts eighteen months in wood. Merlot accounts for seventy percent of the blend.
