Marie & Sylvie Les Deux Sœurs NV
Bordeaux AOC
Marie and Sylvie are two nature-obsessed sister winemakers. And they aren't afraid of shaking up Bordeaux! Their aim was to make a richly layered, complex white. So, instead of taking grapes from just one vintage, they've blended them from three.

The Wine
An exciting, new white made by two nature-obsessed sisters. Marie and Sylvie Courselle run their family’s eco-friendly château in Bordeaux. It has all the credentials – HVE3, Terra Vitis and Bee Happy. Ace winemaking runs in the family too – and they have trained at some exceptional estates. They always make great wines, but we challenged them to a ‘Gentle Riot’. To make wine differently. And they have! It's a blend of Sauvignons Gris and Blanc, and Sémillon – all estate grown. PLUS, a three-way split of vintages! 2018 for roundness, 2019 minerality and 2020 fresh fruit. All aged on lees to lend that creamy weight. Lush, complex, layered, with bright young fruit, it's more of a food wine, than a fruity quaffer. Thoroughly delicious.
"A rule-breaking, eco friendly white – a delicious trio of vintages and grapes"
Jean-Marc Sauboua
