The vines are grown in the Bordeaux appellation of AOP ‘Entre-deux-Mers’, which translates literally as ‘between two seas’, although the seas are in fact rivers, the River Garonne and the River Dordogne, which respectively form the area's southwestern and northern boundaries. The area is significantly influenced by the proximity to the Atlantic Ocean, along with the two rivers, which temper the warm summers. The soils are predominantly clay and limestone, which produce elegant wines. Sustainability is paramount at Château Lestrille. They hold the Haute Valeur Environmentale (HVE)
certification, which officially recognises the environmental performance of winegrowers, including biodiversity conservation, plant protection strategies, managed fertiliser use and water resource management. The vineyard is also in conversion to organic status and the vineyards are cultivated without the use of chemicals.
