Château ALCÉE
Red
- 2021 Futures
- Côtes de Castillon
A 6 ha property (92% Merlot) acquired in 2011 by Mr. Thienpont (Pavie-Macquin, Larcis-Ducasse...). After a break-in period, Alcée takes off in 2016, standing out from its neighbours by its emphasis on finesse, minerality and distinction. A wine with more length than breadth.
Already ranked among the "essential producers" in the 2019 Bettane&Desseauve guide.
Revue du Vin de France :
Bettane & Desseauve : 90-91/100
Galloni (Vinous) : 90-92/100 « A rush of intense floral and savory notes lingers. Tasted two times»
Martin (Vinous) : 90-92/100 « The palate has a lovely juicy opening, fine acidity, rounded, supple red fruit and a harmonious, refined finish. This is a seductive Alcée in the making. »
