Chateau Rival Lussac – Saint Emilion

On entering the vineyards, the cross at RIVAL formerly marked the Saint-Emilion portion of the road to Santiago de Compostella.
The rest of the vineyard will produce a great wine, Château CROIX DU RIVAL, dominated by Merlot, and typical of this great terroir: the uncontested equal of the best Grand Cru Saint-Emilion.
The classic expression of a great terroir, made like the best “grand crus” of Saint-Emilion.
A classic Right Bank assemblage composed of 80% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon.
Château Croix du Rival is a delicious wine with powerful aromas of red fruits, soft tannins and well balanced structure.
It has a capacity for long cellaring, with a decade’s aging potential
