Jacques Thienpont purchased the estate in 2015 and gave it its current name, continuing the tree theme of his other wines: Le Pin (pine), L'If (yew), and now L'Hêtre (beech). The 10-hectare estate, organically certified, is located at the tip of the limestone plateau of Saint-Philippe d'Aiguilhe — the highest point in all of Bordeaux, at 100 meters above sea level. Nephews Maxime and later Antoine Mariau oversee the winemaking. The wine is 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark garnet red with aromas of ripe plum, blackberries, smoke, spices, and a subtle chalky minerality.

The second wine is therefore called 'La Raison d'Hêtre' — a play on 'la raison d'être': the reason for being.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château L'Hêtre","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50150338953481,"sku":"10486","price":44.25,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0845\/4478\/2601\/files\/Screenshot_2026-08-13_at_14.03.38_2.png?v=1786623318","url":"https:\/\/lofwijn.nl\/en\/products\/chateau-lhetre-castillon-cotes-de-bordeaux-2020","provider":"Lofwijn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
