Notre Collection Châteaux
Château Luccius 2022
Château Luccius owes its name from the Gallo-Roman era, when a man named Lucius or Lucaniacus is said to have introduced the first vines on the slopes of the current Lussac Saint-Emilion appellation. Planted on a clay-limestone soil, the Merlot and Cabernet Franc plots are located a few steps away from the remains of an antic villa which would have been the home of this famous Gallo-Roman.
A Château, marked by history, which will surprise you with its greed and intensity.
