Château L'Hêtre Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux 2017
Vintage Character
Château l’Hêtre Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux 2017 is a refined Right Bank Bordeaux that balances freshness with depth, crafted from Merlot and Cabernet Franc grown on the limestone slopes of Castillon. The 2017 vintage in Bordeaux was shaped by severe spring frosts, which reduced yields but concentrated the surviving fruit, followed by a warm summer and fine September that produced wines of aromatic purity and supple structure.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
This cuvée shows a dark purple hue and aromas of blackberry, black cherry, and plum, layered with notes of spice, licorice, and subtle oak. On the palate, it is medium‑ to full‑bodied, with ripe tannins, fresh acidity, and a silky texture leading to a long, mineral‑driven finish. Its elegance and balance make it a superb partner for dishes such as roast lamb with rosemary, braised beef cheeks, or aged Comté cheese, offering a wine that combines accessibility with depth.
Winery Background
Château l’Hêtre is the newest project of Jacques Thienpont and Fiona Morrison MW, the family behind iconic estates such as Le Pin in Pomerol and L’If in Saint‑Émilion. Acquired in 2016, the estate comprises around 10 hectares of vineyards situated on the limestone plateau of Castillon at about 100 meters altitude, surrounded by woods and pastures that contribute to a rich biodiversity. The vineyards are planted mainly with Merlot and Cabernet Franc, rooted in clay‑limestone soils that impart freshness and minerality. The property had previously been converted to organic farming by its former owners, and the Thienpont family has continued this commitment, emphasizing meticulous vineyard care, low yields, and precision winemaking.
