What is in this wine, and where it grows
The wine
Château Alcee 2021 Wine (75cl) is recorded as a 2021 red wine made from Cabernet Franc and Merlot in Bordeaux.
Typical grape profile: Cabernet Franc — Red fruit with a signature herbaceous, peppery edge; Merlot — Plum, black cherry, chocolate; softer and rounder than Cabernet Sauvignon. The finished bottle can differ with vintage and winemaking.
The vineyard evidence
No verified vineyard or named parcel is linked yet. BottlePicker therefore does not assign a soil, elevation or site temperature to this bottle from its regional name alone.
Soil structure and vine density
No site-specific soil or planting-density record is available for this bottle.
Growing-temperature context
For general cultivar-level heat guidance, see the Cabernet Franc and Merlot growing profiles. BottlePicker does not apply a generic range to this bottle without a verified vineyard link.
Source-supplied bottle description
Retained as supporting identification copy; the structured facts and evidence links above are kept separate.
Alcée is the pet project of widely-celebrated winemaker Nicolas Thienpont (of Pavie-Macquin fame especially, one of 2021's wines of the vintage), so it's not a huge surprise to see the wine perform at this level quality, though you still rarely expect to see this in Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux. Since acquiring the estate in 2011, Nicolas has sought to push quality further and further, converting to organic farming, replanting vines, reducing yields and delaying harvesting until optimum phenolic ripeness.
Winemaking
is similarly assiduous, with laser-sharp selection at the sorting table and plot-by-plot vinification. The resultant wine speaks to the elegant side of Merlot and arguably bears more in comparison with Pomerol than it does with neighbouring Saint-Émilion.
Evidence boundary
This page combines the recorded bottle identity with linked source records. An exact region-name match supplies regional context but does not prove that this bottle carries the protected designation. A vineyard is only shown as bottle-level evidence when a wine-to-vineyard link exists. BottlePicker does not infer a vineyard, soil or site climate from a retailer title.
