Château Lassègue is an estate with some 250 years of history in Saint-Hippolyte, on Bordeaux's Right Bank, promoted to Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé in 2022. Its 36 hectares of vines lie on the southern hillsides of Saint-Émilion, in a natural amphitheatre facing south and south-west, on clay soils mixed with varying proportions of limestone. The vines are 50–60 years old.
Since 2003 the estate has belonged to the families of Jess Jackson and winemaker Pierre Seillan. Seillan's micro-cru approach means each parcel is vinified separately in small tanks. The wine is aged in French oak barrels, 50–60% new, each matched by forest of origin and toast.
The Saint-Émilion Grand Cru appellation has stricter rules than Saint-Émilion AOC: lower permitted yields and longer ageing before release.
Serve at 16–18 °C with roast lamb, beef, game or aged hard cheeses. Decanting is recommended.
Château Lassègue is an estate with some 250 years of history in Saint-Hippolyte, within the Saint-Émilion appellation on Bordeaux's Right Bank. Its 18th-century château is known for the sundials on its façade. The 36 hectares of vines lie on the southern hillsides of Saint-Émilion, in a natural amphitheatre facing south and south-west. The soils are clay mixed with varying proportions of limestone, planted to Merlot (55%), Cabernet Franc (35%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (10%).
Since 2003 the estate has been a project of two families – Jess Jackson (Jackson Family Wines) and winemaker Pierre Seillan – and today his son Nicolas Seillan looks after the vineyards. Seillan's micro-cru approach means each parcel is vinified separately in small tanks. The wines are aged in French oak barrels, 50–60% of them new. In 2022 Château Lassègue was promoted to Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé.
