Château de Lussac

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Château de Lussac (Lussac-Saint Emilion)

Château de Lussac is a 30  hectare winery in the Lussac town of the same name in the Lussac-Saint-Émilion wine-growing region in France . The castle is located in the 2000-inhabitant village right next to the church and was built in 1876 by the passionate winemaker Gaston Montouroy (1855–1903), who transferred the building to his son-in-law, the Marquis de Sercey. The property remained in the family until the 1980s. After a 15-year lease to Olivier Roussel, the property went to the couple Griet and Hervé Laviale from Bordeaux , who were able to make the winery the flagship of this region in just a few years.

A French garden extends to the east behind the house . Since 2001 there has been a new bottling and storage hall just north of the old building complex, designed by the architect Philippe Mazières from Bordeaux and the Flemish landscape engineer Guido Spruyt. In the new building, emphasis was placed on the careful integration of the more than one hundred year old design language, which in turn cites older elements.

The wines of the château

Only red grape varieties are grown. Over three quarters of the vineyards are planted with Merlot , the rest with Cabernet Franc . In addition to the first wine, Château de Lussac, there is the second wine Le Libertin de Lussac .

In addition to the management of the winery, the building also houses a small hotel.
