Vinous
byAntonio Gallonithe4/1/2016
Pierre Seillan's 2015 Lassègue wraps around the palate with serious depth. Mocha, bittersweet chocolate, plum, exotic spices and new leather wrap around a core of dark, voluptuous fruit. Forward, racy and pliant, the Lassègue captures the exuberance of the vintage in spades. This is an especially sweet, voluptuous Saint-Émilion with notable mid-palate volume and juiciness. The 2015 is 55% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, done in 70% new oak.
