merlot
structured

"80% of the wine was aged in barrels for fourteen months. In the glass, a complex, intense Bordeaux right from the nose: cherry jam, blackcurrant, undergrowth, spices. A frank, fresh attack introduces an ample, expressive and long palate, elegantly structured by silky tannins and discreet woodiness". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins) Wonderful value for money!

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rated (2019 guide) 14.5/20 (Good wine)

Domain rated 1*Star (A serious, commendable production, in keeping with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))

About the wine:

Woody, quite spectacular, fine tannin, well vinified, classic and tasty.

About the domain :

Located in La Sauve-Majeure, in the heart of the Entre-Deux-Mers region, this estate has long been a classic for good Bordeaux at affordable prices, in all three colors. The Courselle family, who oversee the château and its vinifications with talent and expertise, have created the archetypal good address. Sylvie and Marie Courselle, Francis' daughters, have inherited the family passion. Both engineers and oenologists, they have now taken over Thieuley's destiny. Red, white and clairet wines are always well-crafted, tasty, gourmet and well-balanced. Don't miss the particularly elegant cuvée francis-courselle.

Wine rated (2018 guide) 2**Stars (Outstanding wine)

Domain rated (guide 2021) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)

About the wine:

80% of the wine was barrel-matured for fourteen months. In the glass, a complex, intense Bordeaux right from the nose: cherry jam, blackcurrant, undergrowth, spices. A frank, fresh attack introduces an ample, expressive and long palate, elegantly structured by silky tannins and discreet oak.

About the domain :

The Courselle winegrowing history began in 1949 with the purchase of Ch. Thieuley, not far from La Sauve-Majeure, by André Courselle. Under the impetus of Francis and, since 2004, his daughters Sylvie and Marie, the vineyard now covers 80 hectares and three crus: Thieuley, a benchmark in Bordeaux, Ch. Saint-Genès, destined for export, and Clos Sainte-Anne, 5 hectares of gravel in Capian.

About the wine:

The Courselle sisters' wine in honor of their father is dense and firm. With ripe blackberry and plum fruit, it's already generous. Juicy acidity and fruitiness shine through the structure. Drink from 2018.

My madeleine: my favorite entre deux mers in red (at this price). Not to be missed on the well-noted millesimes.

Quality product, but a little too high in sulfites. Wait two years before tasting
