        • Vinous: The 2020 L'Hêtre represents the fourth vintage and comes from certified organic 75-year-old vines, matured in French oak, one-third new. This cuvée is made by Maxime Thienpont, whose father owns Clos de Quatre Vents in Margaux. The bouquet is a little fermé initially, gradually unfurling with blackberry, boysenberry and light iodine scents. The palate is medium-bodied with quite firm tannins, one of the most structured Côtes de Castillon with a refreshing, quite saline finish and a touch of white pepper on the aftertaste. Lovely.

        Producer Information

        Talking about the name “L’Hêtre”, its history is very new. But, in fact, this domain of Castillon was managed by Stephane and Beatrice Goubau for the last 10 years, under the name of Château Goubau. It is during these ten years that the couple invested into the organic certification of the vineyard. Jacques Thienpont visited this estate in the Côtes de Castillon during the harvest 2015. He was immediately struck by the great location and the stunning view, perched at the end of the limestone plateau that runs eastwards from Saint-Emilion. So it is the reason why he decided to invest, with his sister Anne De Raeymaeker.
        In 2016, the families hired Maxime Thienpont as manager, their nephew who had grown up at another familial estate Château Labégorce Zédé in Margaux. Few monthes later, they made the decision to rename the estate by “L’Hêtre”, thus continuing the arboreal theme that Jacques has used for all his domains. In 2017, two families had the opportunity to purchase the neighbouring domain: Château La Montagne, a 25 hectare estate with an impressive château including the potential of planting a further 10 hectares of vineyards. Even if Thienpont Family had bought Château Goubau before the ageing of vintage 2015, the vintage 2016 is the first vintage made entirely by the new owners and is therefore the first to carry the new name : L’Hêtre.
