Lestonnat Bordeaux Superieur 2013
About the wine
Classic Bordeaux Superieur at a fraction of the Grand Chateau price
- Bordeaux Superieur is seriously classy wine – take a big whiff straight after pouring it into your glass and you're in a French cafe. Solid palate with dark chocolate and cherry flavors... and a smooooth finish.
- It's taken us a long time to make an Angel-funded wine that truly delivers Bordeaux quality without getting bogged down by all the Bordeaux BS. Finally, Joost has done it.
- Classic Bordeaux. Grab a hunk of rich creamy cheese, pour a little too much wine in your glass. And enjoy your sense of superieur-ity.
Best before
To drink from now on or best if cellared down till 2017
Serving advice
Please decant 3 to 6 hours before opening. Serve slightly chilled at 16°/60F
Food match
Our LESTONNAT Bordeaux Supérieur is also great with classic American food!
We recommend you to pair it with BBQ meat: ribs, steaks, burgers, sausages...
If drunk in a couple of years, we suggest you to pair it with a spicy barbecued leg of lamb or Cajun blackened fish.
Contains sulphites
Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Joost de Villebois
Years Angel-funded: 2013-18
- Joost knows how to preserve the heritage of the Loire region while catering to new world consumers.
- He started out in the '90s, producing 2 barrels a year in an old farmhouse... now, with Villebois, he highlights all the best parts of French whites, 24/7. And he passed the Angel torch to his lead winemaker, Patrice Grasset- who makes the Loire Valley wines you love today!
- Winemaking's a real team effort, Joost says. He's so glad to have had you on part of his!
