Château la Croix de Grezard, Lussac-Saint-Émilion

Bill Boulter is not one to blow his trumpet, preferring to let his wines do the talking and the reliably good quality he produces each year from his small estate are really advert enough. Lussac Saint-Émilion is right next door to Saint Émilion itself and the wines often have a lot in common. This Merlot dominated right bank claret has soft and restrained fruit that still maintains good concentration and freshness accompanied with lovely developed oak spices.
