Note di degustazione
Black raspberries, crushed stone, spring flowers, and some spice notes all emerge from the 2021 Château Alcée, a medium-bodied, supple, elegant Castillon that has a beautiful sense of minerality, fine tannins, and a good finish. From the talented team of Nicolas Thienpont (this was first produced in 2011), this classy, elegant, seamless 2021 will evolve nicely for a decade. The blend is 91% Merlot and 9% Cabernet Franc.

The 2021 Alcée has a delightful bouquet, quite floral and well-defined, with violet and peony infusing the vivacious red and black fruit and the new oak neatly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins, quite structured but fresh with just the right amount of bitterness to lend tension on the finish. This punches above its weight.
The 2021 Alcée is round, succulent and super-expressive. A host of perfumed and savory top notes add aromatic presence to this charming, mid-weight Cotes de Bordeaux from Nicolas Thienpont. All the elements are impeccably balanced. Bright acids pull it all together on a finish laced with attractive floral and savory overtones.
The 2021 Alcée, a blend of 91% Merlot and 9% Cabernet Franc, reveals a somber, earthy bouquet with aromas of spices, pencil lead, iris, flowers and blackberries. Medium-bodied, concentrated and round, it’s soft and deep with a fleshy texture. Cellar it for three to four years before opening it.
