JULES LEBEGUE
Lussac Saint-Emilion
Jules Lebègue, a leading Bordeaux wine merchant since 1828, makes its wines from vines planted on the best terroirs along the left and right banks of the Gironde. With its recognizable red ribbon labels, this range is a tribute to the architectural heritage of Bordeaux, to the wine tradition of the region, and to the bourgeois values that have made the reputation and quality of Bordeaux wines throughout the world.
The environment is at the heart of our sourcing: our partners show clean hands regarding their cultural practices. We favor our long-time partners and supervise them throughout the year and during the winemaking. Therefore, we chose to certify our range with the HVE3 label.
