Why this wine
White Bordeaux at this price is usually plain Sauvignon Blanc; the 28% Muscadelle here adds the floral, orange-spice note that makes the wine worth a second glass. The 2023 is the first vintage from certified organic fruit after four years of conversion. Five months in stainless steel keeps everything on the fruit, with no oak in the way.

How it tastes
Grapefruit zest, lychee and ripe peach, with a lift of orange spice and a floral top note. Dry and full-flavoured without weight, medium-bodied, with brisk acidity carrying a long, zesty finish. Sauvignon Blanc 57%, Muscadelle 28%, Sauvignon Gris 15%.
The producer
Château Lestrille sits at the northern tip of the Entre-deux-Mers appellation, in the small town of St Germain du Puch between Libourne and Bordeaux, where Estelle Roumage makes the wines. The 45-hectare property lies on clay and limestone, between the Garonne and the Dordogne and within reach of the Atlantic, which tempers the warm summers. Vines have been farmed organically since 2019 and the estate is certified organic from the 2023 vintage, alongside HVE certification for its wider environmental practice. Every plot is vinified separately: skin contact and cold stabilisation, fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel, then five months in tank before bottling.
Food and drinking
Serve at 8-10°C. Good with oysters, grilled sea bass, a goat's cheese salad, or a bowl of prawns with mayonnaise. Drink over the next two to three years, while the aromatics are at their most lifted. Sealed with a DIAM technical cork. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
