Château Rastouillet Lescure 2021
This estate, member of Union de Producteurs since 1955, is located to the South East of Saint-Emilion, in the village of Saint Hippolyte. The name of the château comes from the place where most plots of vineyard can be found. Château Rastouillet Lescure is definitely one of the “sleepers” in its own category which deserves to be better known !
