Chateau Lestrille Capmartin Bordeaux Superieur 2018
Château Lestrille Capmartin Bordeaux Supérieur 2018
Elegant, Powerful, and Authentically Bordeaux
Crafted in the heart of Bordeaux Supérieur, the Château Lestrille Capmartin Bordeaux Supérieur 2018 is a standout red that blends 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. This medium-bodied wine is a true expression of the region, offering a harmonious balance between ripe fruit, elegant oak, and velvety tannins.
Made by winemaker Estelle Roumage, this vintage showcases a thoughtful winemaking approach. Grapes are hand-selected at optimal ripeness, fermented in stainless steel to preserve aroma and freshness, and aged for 12 months in French oak barrels for added depth and complexity.
Perfect for both casual dinners and special occasions, this wine is also vegan and vegetarian-friendly.
