Maison Ginestet Classique Lussac-Saint-Emilion 2022

Maison Ginestet Classique 2022 Lussac-Saint-Émilion, France

Lussac is a village to the North West of Saint-Émilion, granted appellation status in 1936. Predominately Merlot vines averaging 25 years of age grown on gravelly/clay soil. Grapes are carefully harvested before being destemmed and crushed and transfered to temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. Fermentation last around 10-15 days, with 7 days maceration.

A very classy Claret nose leads on to a ripe, flavoursome Merlot palate, smooth with a pleasingly long finish for such a good value wine.

Fantastic with a classic Sunday roast and also good with lamb dishes.
