Description:
TASTING NOTE: A fine ruby-red in colour, with a nose of ripe red fruits and hints of vanilla which marry well together. The wine is medium-bodied and is a perfect blend of the ripe, spicy-juiciness of the Merlot grape supported by the firmness and finesse of the Cabernet Franc. LOCATION: Owned by the Vauthier family since the late 16th Century, Chateau Lucas is situated in the Saint Emilion satellite of Lussac, approximately 45 kilometers east of Bordeaux. The family also own Chateau Ausone 1er Grand Cru Classé St Emilion. SOIL: Like the rest of the St Emilion District the soil make-up is complex. To the west of the commune the soil is gravelly. To the north it is cold and clayey, while in the south-east the soil is essentially clay limestone. Grapes are selected from across the commune and the percentage split varies from vintage to vintage. CLIMATE: Compared to other parts of Bordeaux, the climate here is more continental, with a greater variation in daily temperatures. There is substantially less rain during summer and winter. GRAPES: 50% Merlot and 50% Cabernet Franc GRAPE HARVEST AND VINIFICATION: Vinification techniques are traditional (12 x 37.5 cl)
