Château des Landes
Château des Landes sits in Lussac-Saint-Émilion, the northernmost satellite appellation of Saint-Émilion on Bordeaux's Right Bank. The vineyard works with the classic Libournais blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc—grapes that thrive in the region's clay and limestone soils. The flagship Lussac-Saint-Émilion balances the structure of Cabernet with Merlot's roundness, a profile typical of the appellation's mid-weight, food-friendly reds. Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast have both assessed the winery's output. Lussac-Saint-Émilion itself occupies a distinct niche: less celebrated than its neighbors to the south, but capable of producing wines with genuine depth and aging potential at accessible price points.
