About the wine:
The nose is open, floral, fruity, and delicately woody; 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 producer of fine, affordable Bordeaux wines in all three styles. The Courselle family, who oversee the château and its winemaking with talent and expertise, have created the quintessential wine destination. Sylvie and Marie Courselle, Francis’s daughters, have inherited the family passion. Both engineers and oenologists, they have now taken the reins of Thieuley. The red, white, and clairet wines are always well-structured, flavorful, rich, and balanced. Don’t miss the Francis-Courselle cuvée, which is particularly elegant.

About the estate:
The Courselle family’s history in winemaking 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.
