Château Lassègue Saint-Émilion Grand Cru 2012 Review
This is a classic, well-structured Right Bank Bordeaux with potential to evolve over time. Deep black fruit and tobacco greet the nose, along with a hint of grassy lift. The full-bodied palate is driven by rich blackberry fruit, cracked pepper, and fresh herbs, supported by grippy tannins that hold everything together.
