Lucia 2023 300cl

Château Lucia is a small 3-hectare Saint-Émilion property that was originally called Château Lucie. The 2001 vintage marks the first one under Lucia. It is owned by Michel Bortolossi who immediately hired Stéphane Derenoncourt to make the wines. Its vines are some of the oldest in Bordeaux, with some dating as far back as the turn of the century. Château Lucia’s wine is one of the most handcrafted in Bordeaux, with meticulous hand-sorting before fermentation. Following the wine’s fermentation in small, open-top oak tanks, it is aged in French oak barrels, 60% new. Like many of Derenoncourt's wines, Lucia is modernly styled with notable concentration and layers of rich fruit and spice.
