charming
value for the money

"Charming in every way!"

“An appealing character of cranberry and blackcurrant. Hints of citrus. Medium-bodied. Fresh acidity and light tannins.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2021) Incredibly charming at an affordable price. A pleasant, fruity red Bordeaux, ready to drink now or to be cellared for a few years with a little patience.

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

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

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.

Hachette Wine Guide

Guide Hachette des vins

Wine noted (guide 2021) 1*Star (Very successful wine)

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

About the wine:

Subtle hints of cinnamon on the initial nose, complemented upon aeration by more generous aromas of blackcurrant and blackberry. This is an expressive, well-structured wine that reveals a lively, long finish with smooth tannins.

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.
