Reviewed February 2013Listrac's naturally tannic character has benefited from the structure-driven 2010 vintage. Château Lestage shows this well, bearing powerful, complex tannins that are powered equally by the ripe blackberry flavor and fruity acidity. It has just the right build for medium-term aging. (RV)

Soft and juicy with lovely currant and spice character. Medium body, round and easy now.

Dark ruby. Sweet (from fruit not oak) and easy to like. Polished and with good intensity. Lots of vigour. (JR)

Chateau Lestage vineyards has a prime location on the slopes of the highest point of the Médoc, the Puy de Menjon, which provide perfect drainage for its vines. This well-respected Cru Bourgeois is another example of a classic old-school Bordeaux. I advise to decant it to let it reveal its beautiful woodsy aromatics.
Notes
Powerful wine and powerful vintage—serve with cassoulet. Chateau Lestage is located at the highest point of the entire Médoc on the Puy de Menjon, 130 feet above sea level—a mountain for Bordeaux. The vineyard is planted to 66% Merlot, 33% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Petit Verdot with an average vine age of 20 years.
