Tall bars, big wine. Low bars, easy wine.

The story

Behind the bottle

Château Lusseau makes Bordeaux in the Graves, south of the city.

Their Blanc Barrique blends Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and a little Muscadelle, fermented directly in barrel and aged on its lees.

A Bordeaux white for people who like it with ambition. Also in magnum.

The place

Rive Gauche (Médoc & Graves) · Bordeaux

The gravel banks north and south of the city favour late-ripening Cabernet Sauvignon. North in the Médoc: Margaux, Pauillac, Saint-Julien, Saint-Estèphe — the classed growths. South in Graves/Pessac-Léognan: reds plus Bordeaux's finest dry whites, on vineyards that run up to the city edge.
