LASSUS

Château LASSUS

Crus Bourgeois since 1932

The winery was mentioned in the first edition of « Bordeaux Et Ses Vins » edited by Charles Cocks in 1850. This time it was owned by P. Brion. In the fifth edition of the guide in 1886 the winery appeared under its current name, Château Lassus. In 1932 Château Lassus was awarded Cru Bourgeois status for its Medocian wine. The estate was bought by the Paeffgen family in 2010 who have realized large investments since to help the cru maintain its renowned status. The quality focus is realized by sustainable efforts in the vineyards, a strong selection process upfront harvest as well as during processing of the berries and finally by the maturing of the wine in selected French oak barrels (barriques). As such the potential of the exceptional terroir and the old vines with reduced yields is converted in a Médocwine with elegant finesse, clarity in the fruit expression, complexity of aroma and taste with a smooth tannin structure.
Remaining a typical Medoc-wine, Château Lassus has a significant aging potential.

Tastingnotes

Yves Beck
Lassus 2012
, AOC Médoc
Couleur violette intensive. Nez un peu sur la réserve. Notes de cerise, En bouche l'attaque est agréable, légèrement friande et le vin se révèle harmonieux. Un vin agréable, de caractère juteux avec une belle structure et des tannins parfaitement intégrés. 2016-2020. 86-88/100


Wine Spectator 31.12.2013
Lassus 2011

Score: 87
A warm paving stone note leads the way, with steeped currant and plum notes at the core and a broad, tarry feel through the lightly smoky finish. Drink now through 2016. 11,830 cases made. –JM
