Full-bodied and rich, this Bordeaux is made from old vines of Cabernet Franc (70%) and Merlot (30%) grown on an organically farmed vineyard. “Essentia offers a more classic profile, with dark fruit and elegant smokiness. Good value for money.”(The Guide to the Best Wines of France - RVF - 2018)

Rated estate (2018 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines regularly receive awards from the guide)
About the estate:
An 8-hectare estate farmed organically, owned by the same family since 1935 and spanning four generations, regularly recognized for its sweet "Palais d'Or" wine from the Côtes de Bordeaux-Saint-Macaire appellation and for its red Bordeaux wines. After ten years as a pharmacy technician, Thierry Bos took over the family estate in 1990.

Essentia offers a more classic profile, with dark fruit and elegant smokiness. Good value for the price.
About the estate:
Thierry Bos, originally from Gironde-sur-Dropt, is a determined and passionate winemaker! For over a decade, he has been dedicated to reviving “forgotten” grape varieties such as Carménère, Malbec, and, to a lesser extent, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. His various vintages express wines with strong personalities. Always balanced, with just the right level of ripeness and delicate extraction, we appreciate the unique character of these wines. A winery that truly deserves our attention.
