Esprit de Lussac

Esprit de Lussac produces wine in Lussac-Saint-Émilion, a satellite appellation of Saint-Émilion in Bordeaux's Libournais region. The estate's flagship wine blends Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon—a composition typical of the Right Bank, where Merlot anchors the structure while Cabernet varieties add frame and complexity. Wine Advocate has rated the Lussac-Saint-Émilion. The appellation itself occupies clay-limestone soils that favor ripe, structured reds with moderate aging potential, distinct from the more celebrated communes of Saint-Émilion proper but offering genuine expression of the terroir.
