Last night Cinnamon and I had this with a magnificent piece of bone in ribeye. This wine sang with the beef, and really showed how well places like Listrac do in a great vintage like 2000. This vineyard is located inland from St. Julien, and situated on the highest peak of the Médoc, at just 43 meters of altitude! This had the silky mouth feel that only time can bring, and a huge plum and cassis bouquet. The best part about it was the finish- so dry and refreshing! A deal for sure!
Notes
Chateau Lestage is located at the highest point of the entire Médoc, on the Puy de Menjon, 130 feet above see level- a mountain for Bordeaux. The vineyard is planted to 63% Merlot, 33% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Petit Verdot with an average vine age of 20 years. This wonderful, medium bodied Bordeaux has been aged to perfection for you, and is drinking wonderfully right now.
