CHÂTEAU CANTELOUP LESTAGE

When my grandmother settled in Fours in 1937, the vineyard covered 2.8 hectares. We’ve come a long way since then! My parents took over in 1965, making the most of the rich clay and limestone soil and continuing to expand the vineyard until it covered 15 hectares in 1980. I naturally inherited this passion for the terroir. Today, our vineyard covers 33 hectares and my two brothers, Patrice and Cédric, have joined me in continuing to honor the memory of our grandmother with a round, fruity and generous wine.

Tasting comments:

The colour is deep and intense. The nose is powerful with notes of blackberries. The attack in the mouth is impressive. A strong character comes through on the palette, a subtle blend of generous, very ripe summer berries and well-integrated wood with notes of caramel and vanilla. The whole is a frank success, with a very pleasurable and persistent finish.

Ripened hard cheese
