The estate was named a Grand Cru Classé in the 2022 classification of Saint-Émilion. The château lies four kilometers (2.4 miles) southeast of Saint-Émilion town, on a gentle southwest-facing slope (known as the Côte de Saint-Émilion) overlooking the flatter land that runs down to the Dordogne river to the south. The château has a history dating back to the 17th Century and was once a chaterhouse. Its modern history, however, dates to 2003 when it was purchased by California vintner Jess Jackson and Barbara Banke. They engaged Pierre and Nicolas Seillan, a father-son team with links to southwest France and California, to oversee the estate. The estate spans 36 hectares (89 acres) with 24 hectares (60 acres) of vineyard. The vineyards face south and southwest, receiving ample sunlight for fruit to attain physiological ripeness.Indeed, the château's façade and wine label are adorned with sundials – both a historical quirk of the property and a symbolic link to the estate's orientation. The vineyards are composed of chalk, clay, and limestone soils and planted to 60 percent Merlot, 35 percent Cabernet Franc, and five percent Cabernet Sauvignon. Yields are limited as the vines range from 40 to 55 years old and final blend makeup of the wines generally reflect the proportions of varieties planted on the property. The château's flagship, Lassègue, is produced from vines planted primarily on limestone slopes. The Merlot-dominant blend spends 12 months aging in 50 to 70 percent new, French oak barrels specifically selected by Pierre Seillan – in the cellar the barrels are not branded by cooper but by forest. The second label, Les Cadrans de Lassègue, is primarily a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, aged in 30 to 40 percent new French oak.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"CaskCartel.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42826297245834,"sku":"","price":1700.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/products\/25_d0e66b73-3643-4eac-b5dc-428d3f0b1c75.png?v=1678178698","url":"https:\/\/caskcartel.com\/es-dk\/products\/2009-chateau-lassegue-saint-emilion-grand-cru","provider":"CaskCartel.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
