Château de Lussac

Château de Lussac is a classical residence built in 1876 with a main courtyard, wooded grounds, and a circular vat room for wine production. The estate forms part of a larger working wine property with vineyards surrounding the main building and production facilities.

Benedictine monks began cultivating vines on this site in the 18th century and built a reputation for quality wines. The present château was constructed in 1876 as a new building on land that had been worked for generations.

The estate has shaped winemaking practice in the Bordeaux region for generations and remains central to the village's identity. The rhythms of vineyard work and production continue to define how locals relate to this land.

Plan your visit on weekdays when the property is open and guided tours of the facilities are available. Wear sturdy footwear since the estate includes vineyard slopes, wooded paths, and various surfaces at different levels.

The vineyard sits on the highest point of the wine village on iron-rich clay soil that gives the wines distinctive mineral qualities. This elevated location and iron-bearing earth create natural conditions that set the wines apart from other local producers.
