Le Repaire Lussac-St.-Emilion

Le Repaire is produced in the Lussac-Saint-Émilion appellation, located just north of Saint-Émilion on Bordeaux's renowned Right Bank. While often overshadowed by its famous neighbour, Lussac-Saint-Émilion shares many of the same clay-limestone soils and Merlot-dominant vineyard plantings, producing wines that offer exceptional value while retaining the structure, elegance, and ageing potential associated with the region. The wine is crafted predominantly from Merlot, supported by Cabernet Franc, a classic Right Bank blend that emphasizes ripe fruit, supple tannins, and aromatic complexity.
