Producer Information

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 revamped the vineyard and practice sustainable winemaking. They strive to meet and exceed expectations with consistently sophisticated releases.

Grapes

Merlot, Cabernet Franc

Production

The vineyard, like the winemaking equipment has been refurbished. And today Chateau de Lussac produces some of the best wines in the Saint Emilion region, on a terrain of clay and loam.

The 2006 vintage is a blend of 77% Merlot and 23% Cabernet Franc. The wine is aged in 50% new French oak barrels and 50% used French oak for around 16 months.

Tasting Notes

This is a real find: a 17 year old Bordeaux from a good vintage at a bargain price. Chateau de Lussac is an impressive property of 77% Merlot and 23% Cabernet Franc. The 2006 is nicely mature with still plenty of vigour left in it, but feels like a lovely mature Bordeaux. The nose is rich and complex with the aroma of roasted nuts and ripe dark fruits emerging into aromas of toast, dried berries, pepper and black cherry. The palate is silky and round and works with a balanced structure and a hint of black fruit. The finish is long and persistent.

Try it with roast beef or a decadent cheese board.
