A blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc, the 2023 L'Hêtre is a wine of real class and energy. Aromatic and floral on the nose with dark cherry, blood orange and pomegranate, it builds on the palate in layers with crisp mineral focus and beautifully detailed tannins and the terroir singing through the finish. As noted by Fiona Morrison MW from Thienpont, “The 2023 shows the quality of a top vintage which highlights the qualities of our patchwork of limestone and clay.” Ready to drink now, it will no doubt reward time in the cellar.

“So aromatic and floral on the nose. Glossy, this has a great brightness and focus to it. Clean and pure, lovely finesse and direction. It’s a little tight and straight but there’s wonderful detail to the tannins and fruit - a mix of blackcurrants and raspberries. Crisp but also comforting. Layered and complex. Really stands out and one to look out for.”

“The 2023 L'Hêtre is a powerful, driving wine from Jacques Thienpont and Fiona Morrison MW's Côtes de Castillon property. A burst of dark red cherry fruit, blood orange, cinnamon and pomegranate all flesh out in the glass. This heady Côtes de Castillon packs a pretty serious punch. I would give it a year or two in the cellar.”
