Chateau de Lussac Le Blanc 2013 - Magnum!
Tasting Notes:
Not your typical Sauvingnon Blanc. This wine has an Old World air about it with deep rich color, tones of oak and tannis commonly found in red wines. Very nice Bordeaux style Sauvingnon Blanc. Great with seafood, chicken, or other light foods.
Ageing
Ageing on lees with 50% new French oak barrel during 9 months.
Vinification
Manual harvest with crates.
Direct pressing with full grapes.
Debourbage.
Alcoholic fermentation in barrel (50% new barrels) during 7-8 days.

Completely renovated since its acquisition by Mr and Mrs Laviale in 2000, the Château de Lussac became a major property in its appellation. The best care and the most effective techniques of management are implemented to ensure high quality and get great white wines. The vines are pruned in double guyot. A very careful and controlled stripping is performed only on the sunrise side. The vinification takes place in partly new barrels and the ageing on lees lasts 8 to 9 months.
