Lestonnat Bordeaux Superieur 2012
About the wine
.
- Bordeaux Superieur. 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 with a smooooth finish.
- It's taken us a long time to make a truly Angel-funded wine that 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 superieurity.

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!
