Château Alcée
Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux Red Bordeaux Blend
Côtes de Castillon, Bordeaux, France
Dark and alluring, the 2018 Chateau Alcée from Castillon is a modern, plush Bordeaux from winemaker Nicolas Thienpont. Sporting a sensual nose of boysenberry, plum, anise and black truffle, the palate is supple and generous with rich flavours of dark chocolate and coffee liqueur. The finish is quite dry with a tug of graphite and a touch of heat. I paid £22 for this wine though it’s significantly less expensive en primeur, and I certainly wouldn’t be disappointed with a case in the cellar.

Прекрасное вино, очень ароматное, лучше декантировать. На вкус умеренное во всем, очень приятное на запах, многослойное.

Very smart construction but the process overrides the terroir. A bit overdone.
