Château Lestruelle

 

 

 

 

Les sols du Chateau Lestruelle sont le plus souvent composés de limonts apportés par le fleuve.

Ce n’est pas le terroir le plus puissant de nos châteaux. Nous portons donc nous efforts sur le travail du fruit.  Le style du Château Lestruelle se construit presque autant au chai qu’à la vigne. A la vigne on pratique un double effeuillage pour obtenir la maturité la plus parfaite.

Au chai nous prenons soin d’extraire le meilleur des raisins sans aller trop loin pour ne pas durcir les vins, puis de conduire l’élevage avec différents types de bois pour apporter la touche aromatique la plus complexe et subtile possible, accompagnant sans l’étouffer l’expression de fruit. Un vin sincère, moderne, et facile à décrypter, ce qui a fait son succès à ce jour.

CUVEE PARTICULIERE BY CHATEAU LESTRUELLE: A HORTICULTURAL APPROACH TO THE CRAFT

As a keen gardener will divide her plants, work the soil and encourage insect life, the vineyards used to produce the 7,000 bottles of this exclusive wine are split into individual plots and worked with patience and passion.

This corresponds neatly to the Bouey Family’s wider environmental strategy, while allowing them to pick the grapes at peak ripeness and guarantee a wine of exceptional quality. It is extraordinarily supple and generous, with fruit galore. The wine is matured in French oak barrels, selected to imbue toasted vanilla notes which will enhance the wine without disturbing its poise and balance.

LESTRUELLE'S NO ADDED SULPHITES
A SINGULAR MEDOC, BURSTING WITH FRUIT

The sulfite-free Château Lestruelle has all the same pedigree as its older brother. The Bouey Family works to extract the very essence of the Château, 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.
