Les Cadrans de Lassegue Saint Emilion 2015 |
Very beautiful deep and brilliant red color with spices on the nose. A lot of finesse on the palate with nutmeg and white pepper flavors. A very balanced wine that develops a good length on the palate and a mineral finish. Fine and persistent tannins. This vintage of Les Cadrans can age 5 to 10 years.
The Les Cadrans de Lassegue is brilliantly clear, showing a ruby core and a bouquet brimming with pomegranates, fresh rose petals and lilacs. There are savory elements here along with mint aromas that combine with a dried sweetness, masterfully contained by the complex structure and vibrant acidity of the wine.
The texture is reflective of its predominant varietal - Merlot, on full display here in its most soft, expansive form. Above all else the Les Cadrans de Lassegue has balanced fruit. The generous, lifted bouquet of light red fruit, silky texture, and finely integrated tannins makes this the perfect wine to enjoy right away.
