Lussac-Saint-Émilion AC
[loo-SAHK san tay-mee-LYAWN]
Just northeast of SAINT-ÉMILION sits the village of Lussac and the surrounding vineyards that make up this APPELLATION. It's one of the satellite COMMUNES allowed to append Saint-Émilion to its name. MERLOT dominates the blend, which may also consist of CABERNET FRANC, CABERNET SAUVIGNON, and MALBEC. The wines can be quite good and are best if consumed within 5 to 6 years.
