The most northern of the satellite regions that surround Saint-Emilion, Lussac-Saint-Emilion, with roots (literally) going back to the Romans (specifically Luccius) is the 2nd largest in size and production, with vineyards on plateaus, gentle slopes and valley floors. Merlot dominates, with Cabernet Franc lending support. Petit Bois' 2010 is rich, plummy and prototypically Bordeaux.
