Bordeaux Château Alcée

Our committee's review

The Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux is an Eldorado of great wines at low prices. And few people know it... This territory, which borders the Saint-Emilion crus and its neighbours, is home to the new recruits of the Bordeaux landscape; it is on these first-rate clay-limestone soils that Nicolas Thienpont, manager of the Pavie Macquin and Larcisse Ducasse crus classés, has set his sights.

Château Alcée benefits from the same care and attention as these great classified growths. The vines, a small enclosure of 6.5 hectares, are located on the plateau, alternating asteriated limestone and red clay.

Forerunner of the new generation of Saint-Emilion wines, Nicolas Thienpont has once again succeeded in achieving a remarkable performance. Discover it quickly on this vintage of great classic elegance!

Opening with juicy, elegant, and deep tannins, the 2016 red Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux Château Alcée delivers a beautiful score, all freshness, and balance. It is an energetic, distinguished wine, carried by a radiant Merlot, ready for the meal, to be discovered today with a poultry or a veal chop. 

An outstanding Bordeaux with the pedigree of a grand cru classé. A must-have for enthusiasts!
