Product Description

Overview

Winery: Chateau des Landes

Luccianus Amphore Lussac St. Emilion is made from 100% Cabernet Franc.

Luccianus is the name of Gallo-Roman origin designating the town of Lussac and its vineyard dating from the 4th century. This 100% Cabernet Franc is produced from the estate oldest vines of 100 years of age and is a return to ancestral aging techniques. The amphora aging gives out a very expressive wine with a superb aromatic radiance and very silky tannins all without a woody note.


The wine shows a beautiful deep purple color. The nose is complex and rich with intense notes of fruits and spices. The palate is round and powerful with silky tannins.

Reviews:


 "Centenarian vine Cabernet Franc aged for a year in an amphora has yielded a well-structured wine. Dense tannins are no impediment to the wine's black fruits and spicy, open character. Rich and concentrated, the wine will age and be best from 2024. - ROGER VOSS"

- Wine Enthusiast (May 2021), 93 pts


"Plums, berries and orange peel on the nose. It’s full-bodied and round-tannined with a lovely, juicy texture and a flavorful finish. Delicious and attractive. Made in amphora. Can age, but will intrigue now. Drink or hold."

- James Suckling (February 2021), 93 pts
