Châteaux La Croix De Chereau Lussac St Emilion is an elegant red wine born from one of Bordeaux’s most respected satellite appellations. Produced with meticulous care in the Lussac-Saint-Émilion region on the Right Bank, this blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon is rich in heritage and character.
This wine presents a deep ruby hue with a nose full of red and black fruits – think plum, cherry and blackcurrant – enhanced by delicate hints of cedar, spice, and toasted oak. On the palate, it delivers a harmonious combination of ripe fruit, gentle acidity, and fine tannins. The oak ageing provides softness and structure without overwhelming the natural expression of the grapes. Balanced and polished, it’s an excellent bottle for dinner occasions or special moments shared.
Whether you're searching for a new favourite through wine online, planning a thoughtful wine delivery Ireland, or simply browsing a trusted wine shop Dublin, this bottle offers French elegance at its finest.

Food Pairings
This wine is incredibly versatile with food, making it a smart addition to any dinner party or relaxed meal. Its balance of fruit, tannin and acidity pairs beautifully with roast meats – particularly lamb, duck, and beef. Try it with a rosemary-infused leg of lamb or slow-braised short ribs for a classic match.
For a more rustic approach, pair it with charcuterie boards featuring aged cheeses like Comté or Saint-Nectaire, pâtés, and crusty sourdough. It also works well with earthy vegetable dishes such as mushroom risotto or lentil and aubergine stew.
For Sunday dinners, beef Wellington or mushroom and chestnut pie make wonderful companions. The wine’s subtle spice and complexity also bring out the best in tomato-based sauces, so it's an excellent option with lasagne, aubergine parmigiana or even a rich, homemade pizza.
