Lussac Saint-Emilion 盧薩克-聖埃美隆​

Lussa Saint Emilion

Lussac Saint Emilion is the most northerly of the 'satellites' of the larger Saint-Emilion appellation in the 'right bank' Libournais district of Bordeaux.

The Lavie stream runs along the southern boundary of Lussac Saint Emilion, neatly separating it from Montagne Saint Emilion. To the east is the Cotes de Francs appellation, which, together with Lussac, marks the north-eastern edge of the Bordeaux region. The landscape here is slightly higher and more rolling than that which prevails closer to the Dordogne, although a certain element of alluvial clay is still found in its soils.

The four Saint-Emilion satellites are Saint-Georges-Saint-Emilion, Montagne Saint Emilion, Puisseguin Saint Emilion and Lussac Saint Emilion itself – all located to the north of Saint-Emilion town. Previously, Parsac Saint Emilion and Sables-Saint-Emilion were also valid appellations, but the four named above are those recognized in the early 21st century. They are known as satellites because the area's more prestigious wine estates historically resented these supposedly inferior wines using the Saint-Emilion name. In the middle of the 20th century, several boundaries were changed and the villages of Lussac, Montagne, Puisseguin and Saint-Georges were granted their own independent Saint-Emilion appellations.

這裡的葡萄園土壤成分複雜，緩坡地帶以石灰岩、黏土為主、山谷多礫石，而高地以沙土和黏土居多，且具有天然的排水性能。

主要以梅洛（Merlot）和品麗珠（Cabernet Franc）混合釀制而成的具有現代風格葡萄酒，其味道醇厚、強勁而優雅。有著草莓、覆盆子、櫻桃等紅色水果香氣，伴有甘草、皮革、李子幹和香料的味道。經過陳釀後，有深層次的酒香味甚至野味的香氣。
