Product Notes

Lussac-Saint-Émilion wine hails from the esteemed Bordeaux region of France, featuring distinctive and sophisticated flavours. This red wine elicits vibrant notes of blackberry, plum and chocolate, perfectly balanced with soft tannins and a pleasing acidity. The full-bodied Lussac-Saint-Émilion is adeptly crafted from a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc grapes, matured with finesse in oak barrels. This robust wine is versatile, pairing brilliantly with hearty meals like roast lamb, but also shines when savoured on its own. Lussac-Saint-Émilion offers a delightful taste profile that consistently reflects the venerable wine-making traditions of its Bordeaux origins.

Tasting Notes

Deep garnet with a warm spiced bread and red fruit character, powerful, yet supple, with vanilla aromas on the finish.
