BORDEAUX, FRANCE

A note from the winemaker: A bright and harmonious Saint-Émilion, the 2019 Les Cadrans de Lassègue features a beautiful pomegranate color and a nose bursting with crunchy red fruit, nutmeg and white pepper. Cabernet Franc lends spice and polish to the dense core of fruit on the palate, well-balanced with discrete tannins and an uplifting tension. A long and mineral finish reveals the clay and limestone terroir of Saint-Émilion. Stylish and food-friendly today, the 2019 Les Cadrans de Lassègue will continue to improve over the next 10 years. Blend: 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon

Food Pairings: Steak, red meats, or robust stews.
