Description
Château Lestrille-Capmartin is located at the northern point of the Entre-deux-Mers in the small town of St. Germain-du-Puch, about thirty minutes southwest of Saint-Émilion. This area is naturally delineated by two bodies of water, the Garonne and Dordogne rivers, thus revealing the origin of its signature wine, Entre-Deux-Mers, literally meaning ‘between two seas.’ The beneficial influence of the oceanic climate and the predominantly clay and limestone soils are ideally suited for wine growing. Owned by the Roumage family since the 19th century and now run by the talented viticulturist Estelle Roumage, the château produces vibrant, fruit driven, accessible wines meant for immediate drinking pleasure. They are perfect bistro wines to accompany a variety of cuisines and celebrations. Thanks to Estelle and her team’s dedication, they are now certified organic, too! This area of Bordeaux, south of Saint-Émilion and Pomerol and north of Sauternes, is known for producing light, crisp wines that pair perfectly with oysters, light fish or simply on their own. This multi-vintage version, LA PETITE LESTRILLE is made with 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Muscadelle. This dry white is replete with notes of grapefruit and savory herbs, and makes for an uncomplicated yet tasty glass of wine.
