Clear, pale ruby in color; on the nose, it's clean with medium intensity primary and secondary aromas of raspberries, hibiscus, and dried leaves; on the palate, it's dry with high acidity, low tannins, high alcohol, light body, and medium intensity primary and secondary flavors of cherries, strawberries, and gun smoke(I think) with a long finish. This wine is balanced and intense. Overall, I rate this wine as very good. Nellie said it's ok. — 3 months ago

a brief romance a year or so ago with 96 Cuvée Angeline and I was hooked on Lassalle. 2012 Special Club recently was way too young and it was recommended I try 2008. It tastes younger than 2012.

A faceful of citrus, it’s a very brash wine that hasn’t even reached adolescence. The fruit is clean and bright, the wine complex and long, but put it away for a decade. — 6 years ago

It was a 1996 Cuvée Angeline that turned my head a year ago, then a 2008. This is my first Lassalle blanc de blanc 2008 and it’s flat out gorgeous. Super citrus nose is followed by a creamy almost sweet mid palate, a thick layered wine that has little weight and just dances on the palate. It is really clean and full of finesse, acidity present but not obtrusive, just covered by the pretty fruit. This is really good, even elegant. — 7 years ago

Medium-deep ruby color.
Aromas of cassis, vanilla, soft oak spice.
Off-dry. Flavors of cassis, vanilla, soft licorice. Medium-rich, velvety tannins. Oak is subtle, allowing the grapes to shine.

Intensity: 4/5
Complexity: 2/5
Balance: 4/5
Finish: 4/5 — 3 years ago

For the price it’s fabulous. Paid $23. Entry level Lassalle. Won’t make me think Cuvée Angeline but it’s good! — 4 years ago

fortunately recently found a small supply for $55/b, less than release price, and it’s even more delicious due to that price. Just scrumptious crunchy bright yellow orchard fruit and citrus, not at all oxidative or yeasty, just lovely, fresh, and delicious. This is real bright and fresh. The 2011 wasn’t at this level, 96 was/is stupendous, and I’m hooked. I don’t know who Angeline is but I love her very much. — 5 years ago
