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.
According to the Guide Bettane & Desseauve 2025, “Alcée has become the favourite vintage of wine lovers looking for excellent value among Bordeaux wines”.
Bettane+Desseauve : 93-94/100 “Immediately appealing on the nose with notes of red berries and gentle spices, it is silky, rich and well-balanced on the palate. A charming wine that will age beautifully. A favourite.”
Vinous (A. Galloni) : 91-93/100 "The 2025 Alcée dazzles with an exotic mix of dark-toned fruit, lavender, chocolate, menthol, licorice and spice box. Supple and forward, with tremendous fruit purity, Alcée is a star in 2025. Low-yielding old vines confer notable textural dimension."
