A GENEROUS LUSSAC

This radiant Cru draws its personality from its limestone terroir and generous sunshine. Beautiful, luminous color. A nuanced nose with aromas of ripe fruit — blackberry, cherry, wild strawberry, raspberry — delicate toasted notes, underbrush, and mineral accents. The palate is round and fruit-driven, with crisp tannins touched by spice. The finish is balanced and expressive. A wine to share with family or friends.
