This wine is a perfect example of the beauty of age-worthy Bordeaux. A 10-year old flagship St. Emilion from one of the elite Right Bank locales offered at the price that most people pay for their second label.
Only 3% of St. Émilions are planted on the Côte – blessed with that rare distinction of extra sun, cool northern winds, exceptional hillside drainage and the unique soil that promotes a deep root system with abundant access to nutrients. That’s incredibly rare and special.
It’s what helps set today’s wine apart. Well that and their several times 100-point winemaker, endless access money courtesy of American funding and a special 17th Chateau that has made exceptional wine for decades.
They’re made by superstar Bordeaux winemaker, Pierre Seillan who has been making wine throughout the region for decades. Chateau Lassegue is an absolutely gorgeous, flawless estate, home to 36 hectares of southwest facing vineyards painstakingly laid out across a natural amphitheater.
Unsurprisingly, this one has a great score attached to it, this one courtesy of the stingy Brit’s and their Decanter Magazine. Decanter loved this one back in 2017 when they tasted it, but it unquestionably added nuance and sophistication in the bottle since then as well as more refined dark fruits and a myriad of spices. Decanter called it, “A captivating wine of depth and integrity.” I don’t know a whole lot about integrity in wines, but I know this one is a Right Bank beauty and a sure bet winner.

93 Points, Decanter Magazine
A captivating wine of depth and integrity. Brooding purple aromas of violets, rose petals and lilac…alongside classic Bordeaux aromatics of new leather, cigar box and pencil lead. On the palate, red and black fruit in perfect accord…red cherry, raspberries and wild strawberries entwined with darker, deeper expression of black currants and black-berries. There is earth…forest floor…mushrooms, truffles, anise, herbal tones of deep sage and oak captures the vintage with soft and rich notes of vanilla, toast and cedar.

Xavier Vignon’s brand spanking new CDR 100% is a thing of beauty. It’s already got a blessing from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate who described this wine as, “Full-bodied, concentrated and supple”. This is a gorgeous and intricate blend that features all of the Southern Rhone appellations. This year, the blend was 40% Grenache, 25% Mourvedre, 15% Syrah, 7% Cinsault, 7% Marselan, 6% Terret Noir. Nobody can do it like the mad scientist, Xavier Vignon.
#3 Wine Spectator Top 100 Wines of 2021
96 Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate – 95 Points, Wine Spectator
We are one of the very few folks who have Wine Spectator’s #3 Wine of the Year. This is definitely not one to miss. The 2016 vintage showcases this prized vineyard in all its glory; notes of wild black fruit, thyme, mint, eucalyptus, and bay are lifted and enjoyed with the polished tannin and mouthwatering freshness of this wine. Regarded as one of the best vintages in the last few decades, the 2016 Martha’s Vineyard has been aged to perfection for immediate enjoyment at release and will continue to reward for the next 20+ years.
Anne Sery describes her Trousse Chemise Cabernets as an ode to the Left Bank and her winemaking roots. It’s a beautiful and fresh Cabernet with aromas that leap from the glass with of black raspberry, violets, and creme de liquor notes. The mouth gives generous amounts of juicy black fruits at the core with hints of baking spice and a smooth, savory finish. This is a terrific partner for just about anything from hard cheese, to poultry, summer salads, you name it!
Winemaker Kian Tavakoli (Opus One, Clos du Val) continues to excel even while others struggle. In 2017, he still managed to deliver a beautiful and opulent Napa Valley Cabernet that’s both dark and juicy. The wine hails from both Coombsville and Rutherford, giving it distinct characteristics and a lot of drive. Deep ruby to the rim with excellent concentration, notes of Bing cherries, raspberry pie and hints of vanilla. On the palate, big wonderfully jammy fruit with young but impressive tannins and great length. The finish leaves notes of black cherry, and baked blueberry pie. Fantastic Napa value.
