Lussac is a village to the North West of Saint-Émilion, granted appellation status in 1936. Predominately Merlot vines averaging 25 years of age grown on gravelly/clay soil. Grapes are carefully harvested before being destemmed and crushed and transfered to temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. Fermentation last around 10-15 days, with 7 days maceration.
Ginestet Classique Lussac-Saint-Émilion is an amazing value satellite St Emilion made by Maison Ginestet's head winemaker Guillaume Henimann. A very classy Claret nose leads on to a ripe, flavoursome Merlot palate, smooth with a surprisingly long finish for a wine at this level. It's a fantastic wine to pair with a classic Sunday roast and also good with lamb dishes.
