Insights:
Lussac is a small place in the Gironde Department, with approx. 1300 inhabitants, part of the Acquitaine region. Approx. 9 kilometres north-west from St. Émilion. Grapes for the area: cabernet franc, cabernet sauvignon, malbec and merlot, where merlot usually dominates the blend. Anyway, presents like this are more than welcome! Sorry about the dirty bottle.
