AOC Lussac-Saint-Emilion wines awarded at the Gilbert & Gaillard International Challenge

A.O.C./A.O.P.

Lussac-Saint-Emilion is one of Saint-Emilion’s four satellite appellations. Set in the village of Lussac, it is a red-wine only appellation. The wines are grown on average 10-hectare plots by around a hundred growers. The vineyards are planted on plateaux and hillside sites where soil types are calcareous clay in the south eastern portion and gravely in the west, though there are pockets of sand and clay. The wines are blended from Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet-Sauvignon, Malbec and Carmenère. Wines styles: Lussac’s hallmark character traits are sourced in its ‘terroir’. The wines display a distinctively intense colour, finesse and generosity. They are well-balanced, full and suitable for laying down. They can be paired with grilled or roast meats and game.

Grape varieties: Vins rouges : Merlot, Cabernet-sauvignon, Cabernet franc, Malbec, Carmenère

The irony of our time is that we believe it's us who are evolving – integrating AI, refining systems, improving what exists. Yet nature's intelligence runs deeper, and the vine has been perfecting survival far longer than we've been trying to improve it.

Cognac stands firm
Since 2020 and the onset of the pandemic, the Cognac industry has been rocked by one crisis after another. Cash flow has been bled dry, transactions have dwindled and prospects are pretty lacklustre in its two key markets, the United States and China. For all that, Cognac has lost nothing of its global aura. And as the industry members we spoke to confirmed, there are reasons for hope, particularly for those active in France and Europe.
