Organic/Practicing Biodynamic/Low Sulfites
Chateau Lestignac is a family domaine dating back to 1617. After recent generations selling their grapes to local negociants, Mathias Marquet and his wife Camile took over the domaine to make their own wines. They are inspired by nature and the environment, farming their 30 acres of vines organically and biodynamically with an aim to improving life in the soil and the region. Work in the cellar is equally natural: only indigenous yeasts for fermentation and no additives at all other than a minimal use of sulfur as needed. This earthy, tannic, deep red is is 100% Merlot in the 2020 vintage (it had been a blend in the past). It has a funky, barnyard nose with loads of structure and depth.
