Château Lestrille-Capmartin Bordeaux Supérieur Jean-Louis Roumage Château Lestrille-Capmartin is owned by Jean-Louis Roumage, an agricultural engineer who combines modern growing and winemaking techniques with a great respect for traditions. His 96-acre property is located in the small town of St. Germain du Puch (the northern point of Entre-deux-Mers between Libourne and Bordeaux and about a half-hour southwest of St. Emilion). Michel Rolland is one of the consulting enologists at the domaine, which has belonged to the Roumage family since the end of the 19th century.  |
 Château LestrilleThe Château Lestrille is made with 60% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 15% Cabernet Franc. After a long, temperature-controlled macération, the wine is fermented and raised in tank for a year before being released. It is loaded with notes of red fruits and subtle earthly complexity. Cuvée PrestigeThe Cuvée Prestige is made with 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and sees all new oak; it displays notes of ripe red fruit, toast, coffee and wood spice. Its finish is long, with well-integrated tannin. Wines from Bordeaux Region France
