Review: 2012 Les Cadrans de Lassegue Saint-Emilion Grand Cru
“Affordable Bordeaux” is always a loaded term, and this release from Lassegue’s second label shows why. A very simplistic wine, it exudes a heavily earthy and vegetal character, with notes of truffle, tobacco, and green beans. The body is surprisingly thin, while the finish is thick with a canned vegetable aftertaste. It has a few brief moments of brightness somewhere in the middle of all that, but they’re decidedly fleeting.
