The wine
Deliciously fruity, easy-drinking Merlot bursting with vibrant red fruit, cherry and plum, underpinned by an appealing freshness. Smooth and juicy with a moreish, plummy finish. Everyday claret that actually tastes of somewhere.
The producer
Château Lestrille
View all Château Lestrille winesChâteau 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.
