2016 vintage. Last tasted 11.21.21 (9.3), Body has thinned out from medium heavy/heavy body to medium body along with one of the best BDX noses I've ever scented still performing as such. The 11.21.21 notes still holding up. Sprinkle a little corn meal into that nose and we are golden. Wine is currently in a state of transition but still so giving. Ridiculous value BDX. Need to pick up another 4-5 bottles. This is going to be a fascinating journey. 02.17.25. — 14 days ago
Château Lassegue is known for producing high-quality red wines made from the classic Bordeaux grape varieties, including Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon. The winery's vineyards are planted on well-drained, gravelly soils, which are ideal for producing the rich, full-bodied wines that are the hallmark of the Saint-Émilion region. The winery's wines are known for their elegance, complexity, and depth of flavor, with aromas and flavors of dark fruit, spice, and tobacco. — 11 days ago

2022 vintage. 82% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc, and 4% Petit Verdot. A legend in the making. I love these wines. Couvent des Jacobins has never given in to the fashion of the day, always crafting classic, profound, elegant and long-lived wines. The 2022 might well be the finest ever! Attractive nose with red and black fruit and subtle violet. Succulent,layered fruit, with impeccable purity, silky tannins, freshness and impressive length. This is Premier Grand Cru level! Enjoy over the next 40 years. Abv. 14,5%. — 9 days ago
