Chateau de Lussac Le Blanc 2019
The 2019 white wine season in Bordeaux was blessed with a mild climate, which kept grape diseases at bay. The summer temperatures were very high, which delayed the ripening of the grapes as they were unable to withstand the moisture stress, but a bountiful rainfall in mid-August finally provided ideal conditions for the grapes, perfect for developing rich aromas.
The grapes were 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.
Château de Lussac was founded in 1876 and has been owned by Madame G. Lavière Van Marderen and her husband Hervé since 2000.
The vineyards have been redesigned as well as the winemaking facilities, and today produce some of the finest wines in Saint-Emilion on clay and loamy soils. Highly skilled and meticulously managed, the vineyards produce high quality, top-quality wines. The grapes are pruned using the double Guyot method, with particular attention paid to the side that receives the morning sun, and branches are removed to ensure complete control.
