"Small red and black berries jostle for position in this beautiful, fully aromatic 2017. The fruit and wood blend perfectly to highlight a full-bodied, dense texture with well-integrated tannins. Whether to serve it now or keep it is a matter of personal choice." (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2020)

Bettane & Desseauve
Winery rated 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, consistent with what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the estate:
Located in La Sauve-Majeure, in the heart of Entre-Deux-Mers, this estate has long been a classic producer of affordable Bordeaux wines in all three colors. The Courselle family, who oversee the château and its winemaking with talent and expertise, have created the archetype of a great wine address. Sylvie and Marie Courselle, Francis' daughters, have inherited the family passion. Both engineers and oenologists, they have now taken over the reins at Thieuley. The red, white and clairet wines are always well-structured, flavorful, delicious and balanced. Don't miss the particularly elegant Francis-Courselle cuvée.

About the estate:
The Courselle family's history in winegrowing began in 1949 when André Courselle purchased Ch. Thieuley, not far from La Sauve-Majeure. Under the leadership of Francis and, since 2004, his daughters Sylvie and Marie, the vineyard now covers 80 hectares and three crus: Thieuley, a benchmark in Bordeaux, Ch. Saint-Genès, intended for export, and Clos Sainte-Anne, 5 hectares of gravel in Capian.

Note and opinion by Mr. PATRICE P. Published on 02/18/2022
It is best to wait 3-4 years. Otherwise, decant for at least 2-3 hours before serving (astringency). 12/20.

A lovely Bordeaux red, characterized by its grape variety, but not only that...

Although not very expressive, this wine stands out for its successful harmony. Good value for money.
