Château Lacroix Blanchon | Lussac Saint Emilion

Merlot 69%, Cabernet Franc 27%, Cabernet Sauvignon 4%

Château Lacroix Blanchon is located in the commune of Lussac St Emilion, in Blanchon. The estate of 7.48 hectares is planted with the Merlot and Cabernet Franc grape varieties planted in clay-limestone soils. Château Lacroix Blanchon has belonged to Sabine Lacroix since 1999. The winemaking is oriented to the extraction while respecting the fruit. Fermentation between 28 ° and 30 ° C. Quite long vatting, between 3 and 5 weeks. 15 % of the volume is aged in oak barrel for 6 months to give the blend an aromatic complexity. Deep red colour. Crisp nose, with floral and fruity aromas and a discreet touch of wood. Rather elegant attack on the palate, followed by a firmer evolution with a woody structure.
