Lassègue St-Émilion Grand Cru 2020 En Prim Deposit

Bordeaux, France

cabernet franc, merlot

Description

*Price is for a 6-bottle case and includes shipping from France to your preferred delivery location in Ireland upon release in 2023.

This is our first time offering this wine En Primeur but we were so impressed with the quality-to-value ratio when we tasted it that we knew we had to offer it to our customers. The Château dates to about 1600 and was bought by the Jackson Wine family in 2003. There has been a steady increase in quality in the past decade, culminating in this 2020 vintage, which is the best we have tasted.
Potential Drinking Window 2027-2040

A measured yet powerful grip holds interest from beginning to end of the palate. This is just dripping with salinity from crushed stones, graphite and slate - a physical presence that balances beautifully with the fleshy black cherry and damson fruits, and the chocolate shavings. An excellent quality Lassegue, hard hitting and muscular but with pace and persistency. 52% new oak barrels (from 15 different forests - always a key signature of this estate's ageing policy). 3.6pH, average vine age between 50 and 60 years old.
