Notes | |||
"The Bouey Family works to extract the very essence of Château Lestruelle, applying precision winemaking techniques and protecting it from any incoming oxygen. The fruit of these labors is a gorgeous garnet, almost purple, wine with generous yet delicate aromas of red berries and caramel. On the palate, the fine-grained tannins remain fresh and joyful, creating a smooth and rounded texture. It ends with intense notes of red berries, remaining full-bodied and velvety all the way to the finish." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"Tasted at the Cru Bourgeois annual tasting, the 2015 Lestruelle offers red plum and crushed strawberry on the nose, slightly diffuse at first but gaining harmony with time. The palate is medium-bodied with fleshy ripe red berry fruit, succulent in the mouth with lovely purity on the caressing finish, one that disguises the structure underneath. Don’t overlook this fine Médoc that is both approachable but will age with style." —Wine Advocate |
