The wine

The estate's top wine, and no longer much of a secret. A rich, powerful Merlot with beautiful balance between roasted aromas and intense black fruit; velvety tannins and well-integrated oak carry dark berry flavours complemented by hints of cigar box through a smooth, elegant finish.

The producer

Château Lestrille sits at the northern tip of Entre-Deux-Mers, in the small town of St Germain du Puch between Libourne and Bordeaux. It is run by Estelle Roumage, a passionate and dedicated winemaker producing modern, elegant Bordeaux.

Estelle believes the essence of winemaking lies in the vineyard itself, and places considerable emphasis on respecting the balance of the soil. The vines have been cultivated organically since 2019, with the estate fully certified from the 2023 vintage.

Each plot across the 45 hectares is vinified separately with tailor-made precision and minimal intervention. The range runs from the crisp Petite Lestrille through Entre-Deux-Mers and rose to the barrel-aged Capmartin and Le Secret: proper Bordeaux at prices that have not forgotten the rest of us.
