CHÂTEAU ALCÉE
2017 Côtes de Castillon
| Colour | Red |
| Origin | France, Bordeaux |
| Village | Côtes de Castillon |
From a property purchased by Nicolas Thienpont in 2010, the 2017 Château Alcee is 100% Merlot planted on a limestone plateau east of Saint Emilion. Black raspberries, violets, spring flowers, and hints of minerality all flow to a medium-bodied, elegant, silky 2017 that has beautiful purity of fruit, integrated acidity, and a great finish. Tasted twice. Rating: 87-89 Jeb Dunnuck, www.jebdunnuck.com (Apr 2018)

Fresh and pure, with a beam of blackberry and black cherry fruit inlaid with a light savory thread. A good chalky spine and bright acidity hold the finish. Rating: 89-92 James Molesworth, The Wine Spectator (Apr 2018)
