I loved the 2022 Château Alcée, a very complete, balanced, ultra-classic Castillon that’s loaded with minerality as well as notes of ripe black cherries, spring flowers, and spice. With medium to full-bodied richness, a pure, layered, elegant mouthfeel, and a gorgeous finish, it might be the finest vintage of this cuvée to date. This cuvée is 100% Merlot that was raised 40% in new barrels, with the balance in once used oak, as well as 10% in concrete tanks.

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

Another crunchy wine, showing strawberries and cherries with some flowers and stone. Fine tannins with a salty, lightly austere finish. Pure merlot. Drink now and enjoy.

The 2022 Alcée has a backward, minerally and limestone-scented bouquet that needs time to open in the glass. It is quite understated for the vintage. The palate is medium-bodied, fresh and saline, with supple tannins. This is an elegant Castillon with a precise and sustained finish. It is a thoughtful wine for serious Bordeaux lovers.

Meeting all my expectations since the en primeur tasting, the 2022 Alcée is a real success this year. Revealing a dense, vibrant bouquet of cassis, lilac, spices and mulberries intertwined with delicate pencil lead notes, it's medium to full-bodied, concentrated and structured with a fleshy, seamless core of fruit, dense tannins that should mellow with one to two years in bottle and conclude with a long, mineral and floral finish. Among all the wines from Nicolas Thienpont, this is my favorite.

Fresh and pure, with a pretty beam of red currant and black cherry coulis racing through, flecked with tobacco, dried violet and black tea notes. Best from 2026 through 2034. 3,200 cases made.
