Château Lestage – Listrac-Médoc – Red – 2016:

 

Château Lestage: The Exceptional Cru Bourgeois from Listrac-Médoc

Château Lestage, designated Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel, represents the pinnacle of quality from the Listrac-Médoc appellation. Situated on the Médoc’s highest point, the historic ‘Puy de Menjon,’ this Chanfreau family estate produces wines celebrated for their remarkable structure and sophisticated elegance.

Tasting Notes & Heritage

• Color: A deep, alluring garnet, hinting at the wine’s complex character.
• Nose: A clean, pure, and racy bouquet, featuring intense aromas of ripe red berries (strawberry, raspberry), elegantly infused with notes of vanilla and sweet tobacco from expert oak aging.
• Palate: The attack is direct, leading to a full, round, and harmonious mouthfeel. The tannins are silky and well-integrated, providing a velvety texture and a long, harmonious finish rich in blackcurrant and spice flavors. A truly age-worthy Left Bank Bordeaux.

Pairing & Serving Suggestions

This luxury Listrac-Médoc is the perfect companion for the finest cuts of meat and rich dishes. Serve ideally between 62°F and 64°F (17°C-18°C), after decanting for one hour to fully express its complexity.
