Luccianus Amphore
Luccianus Amphore
AOC Lussac Saint-Émilion
Luccianus is the name of Gallo-Roman origin referring to the Lussac city and its vineyard dating from the 4th century. This cuvée is a return to ancestral ageing techniques. Only made of Cabernet Franc from our old 100 years old vines, with an amphora ageing that gives a very expressive wine with a superb aromatic sparkle and very silky tannins.
