Why it matters
The producer
Château Lassègue makes red Bordeaux in Saint Émilion from a vineyard whose wines are welcoming and authentic, with a true reflection of clay, chalk and limestone terroir. In the cellar, fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks. The wines then age for 15 months in French oak barrels, with 50 to 60 percent new wood.
