Chateau de Lussac Le Blanc 2018
Overall, 2018 was a winning year for white wines in Bordeaux, with fruity, delicate, and energetic wine finishes. The wines are fruity and aromatic with an impeccable finish.
The grapes are harvested at 50 hl per hectare from clay-limestone soils. 7,200 vines are planted per hectare, and the vines are around 10 years old. Annual production of 13,000 bottles. Hand-picked. Fermented in barrels, 50% of which are new, and aged for 6 months in French oak barrels (33% new).

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.
