About

▸ Plum. Black cherry. Cinnamon.

▸ Quietly rich.

▸ 55-year vines. Iron soils.

 

Old-vines Merlot from 55-year rows on Lussac’s clay-limestone makes a plush, oak-warmed pour. Plum and black cherry meet a dash of cinnamon from 16 months in Allier barrels—ideal while duck breast caramelises on the stove.

Third-generation winemaker Nicolas Lassagne isolates 55-year-old Merlot rows on Lussac’s clay-limestone shot with crasse de fer for this small lot. Malolactic in 100 % new Allier and Limousin oak with lees stirring builds breadth. The result shows black cherry, plum and bakery spice over firm but polished tannin.
