Description

The nose is rich and complex with the aroma of roasted nuts and ripe dark fruits (plum/cherry) emerging into aromas of cedar, dried berries, pepper and black cherry. The palate is silky and round with a long and persistent finish. The 2016 is nicely mature with still plenty of vigour left in it, but feels like a lovely mature Claret

More Information

Chateau de Lussac Saint Emilion 

The vines at Lussac were planted in Gallo-Roman times, just a few kilometres from Saint-Émilion. Then, in the 18th century, Benedictine monks worked the Lussac vineyards and raised the profile of their wines as far afield as the English court.
Château de Lussac was built in 1876 for Gaston Montouroy, then passed on to the Marquis de Sercey, whose family managed the estate until 1980. Now owned by Sarments Vineyards, Château de Lussac is being modernised. It is whithin this theatrical setting, between a main courtyard and wooded grounds, a blend of classical and Renaissance architecture, that we produce the Château’s wines.

The wine is aged in 50% new French oak barrels and 50% used French oak for around 16 months.

Château de Lussac is was founded in 1876 and has always been a family property. It was bought by Griet Van Malderen-Laviale and her husband, Hervé, in 2000. Ever since, they’ve completely renovated the vineyard and practice sustainable winemaking.
