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 the price.”(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.

Rated Estate (2018 Guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the excellence of French winemaking.)

About the wine:

Essentia offers a more balanced profile, with dark fruit and an elegant smokiness. Good value for the price.

About the estate:

Thierry Bos, a native of Gironde-sur-Dropt, is a determined and passionate winemaker! For more than ten years, he has been dedicated to reviving “forgotten” grape varieties such as Carménère, Malbec, and, to a lesser extent, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. The various vintages express wine styles with strong personalities. Always well-balanced, with just the right level of ripeness and delicate extraction, we appreciate the unique character of these wines. This is an estate that truly deserves our attention.
