Château Alcée – Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux – Red – 2019:

 

The Pedigree of Castillon: Château Alcée by Nicolas Thienpont

Château Alcée represents the zenith of the Castillon-Côtes de Bordeaux appellation. Under the meticulous direction of Nicolas Thienpont, this Right Bank estate leverages its premium limestone terroir to craft a wine of remarkable sophistication and depth, often compared to its more famous neighbours in Saint-Émilion.

Sommelier’s Tasting Notes

The core of this wine-predominantly Merlot with a generous addition of Cabernet Franc-exhibits a profound complexity. Expect a nose of intense dark fruit, sweet black plum, and refined spice, leading to a palate that is both dense and graceful. The structure is defined by silky, fine tannins and a signature mineral lift, resulting in a long, memorable finish. This is a serious wine with excellent cellaring potential.
