Chateau Lucas, founded 1876, is located in the heart of Lussac-Saint-Emilion Appellation. Generation after Generation, the Vauthier Family has been the owner of this beautiful property. For more than 20 years, Frederic Vauthier has managed the estate focusing on adapting his family know-how to the new techniques of viticulture and vinification. The vineyard covers more than 20 hectares and only 6 hectares allow the production of this cuvee Grand de Lucas Cuvee Prestige.
A very aromatic bouquet blending fruity notes such as raspberry and blackcurrant, jammy fruits like plum and vanilla notes. The tannins are quite velvety, the mouth is round and well balanced. Long finish. A grand wine, almost crunchy, which will reward with a little time in the cellar.
Ideal with red meat and lamb. Perfect also with pork stew and hard cheeses such as Comte or Beaufort.
At various competitions this wine has been awarded a couple of prizes: the Concours de Bordeaux Vins d'Aquitaine awarded the 2010 vintage Argent and the Challenge International du Vin awarded Silver.
