Chateau de Lussac 2016 75cl

Tasting Note

If you've liked the older vintages of this wine, you're going to love this one. The 2016 vintage was great and this wine is SO wonderfully silky and elegant. Unlike the '06 which was a bit funky and savoury, and the '12 which was all pencil lead, this really shows elegant fruit at first, then backed up by rounded warmed baked pie crust and then very slightly warmed through fruit - think of picking blackberries and raspberries on a really hot day. Very limited availability at this price, with stock arriving late October 2024.

Producer

Château de Lussac was founded in 1876 and has been the property of Mme G Laviale-Van Malderen and her husband Hervé since the 2000 vintage. 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.
