Robert Parker

“The nose is open, floral, fruity, and delicately woody; the palate is rich and full-bodied, with fruit, spicy notes, and a fresh finish.” (Bettane & Desseauve Wine Guide 2019) Its aromatic profile is a veritable explosion of aromas that blend harmoniously.

Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rated (2019 guide) 15/20 (Very good wine)

Winery rated 1*Star (A high-quality, recommendable production that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))

About the wine:

The nose is open, floral, fruity, and delicately oaky; the palate is rich and full-bodied, with fruit, spicy notes, and a fresh finish.

About the estate:

Located in La Sauve-Majeure, in the heart of the Entre-Deux-Mers region, this estate has long been a classic choice for fine, affordable Bordeaux wines in all three styles. The Courselle family, which oversees the château and its winemaking with talent and expertise, has successfully created the archetype of a top-notch winery. Sylvie and Marie Courselle, Francis’s daughters, have inherited the family passion. Both engineers and oenologists, they have now taken the reins at Thieuley. The reds, whites, and clairets are always well-structured, flavorful, rich, and balanced. Don’t miss the Francis-Courselle cuvée—it’s particularly elegant.

Rated Estate (2021 Guide) Award-Winning Wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the estate:

The Courselle family’s winemaking history began in 1949 when André Courselle purchased Château Thieuley, not far from La Sauve-Majeure. Under the leadership of Francis and, since 2004, his daughters Sylvie and Marie, the vineyard now spans 80 hectares and includes three estates: Thieuley, a benchmark in Bordeaux; Château Saint-Genès, intended for export; and Clos Sainte-Anne, 5 hectares of gravelly soil in Capian.
