2020 Chateau Lestage - Listrac-Médoc Cru Bourgeois - 3 Magnums (1.5L)

Discover Château Lestage Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel 2020, a red Bordeaux wine from the Listrac-Médoc appellation, renowned for the excellence of its terroir and the precision of its wines. Situated on the slopes of Puy de Menjon, the estate benefits from gravel, limestone and clay-limestone soils, which bring freshness, depth and structure to the wine.

The 2020 vintage is based on a classic Médoc blend, dominated by Merlot and complemented by Cabernet Sauvignon and a touch of Petit Verdot. Merlot brings fruit, roundness and generosity, while Cabernet Sauvignon gives the wine structure and extends its finish.

On tasting, Château Lestage 2020 reveals a deep red color and aromas of dark fruit, notably blackcurrant and blackberry, accompanied by delicate spicy and oak notes. On the palate, it stands out for its lovely density, firm yet elegant tannins, and a persistent, balanced finish.

Classified as Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel in the 2020 Crus Bourgeois du Médoc classification, this wine reflects the estate’s high standards and the quality of its aging. Serve ideally at 14–16 °C, preferably after brief aeration, to release the full complexity of its aromas.

This Listrac-Médoc is a perfect match for grilled ribeye steak, duck breast, leg of lamb, game stew or firm cheeses. Thanks to its structure and concentration, it has genuine aging potential and can develop favorably over several years, gaining complexity with time.

The 1.5 L magnum format is particularly well suited to festive meals, large gatherings and lovers of fine wines for aging. It also allows the wine to evolve more gradually in the bottle, for an even more memorable tasting experience.
