Château Thieuley Cuvée Francis Courselle 2021

Château Thieuley has belonged to the Courselle family since 1950, when André Courselle purchased the estate. His son, Francis, took over in 1972 and made huge strides. Indeed, Francis was key in the modernising of Bordeaux whites. He passed his wine passion onto his daughters Sylvie and Marie, who continue the pioneering work at the estate, having first gained experience at the prestigious properties Chivite in Spain and the Languedoc’s prized Domaine de l’Hortus. Cuvée Francis Courselle is a tribute to their father. Using old, low-yield, estate grapes – Sauvignon Blanc, along with richer, spicier Sauvignon Gris and Sémillon – fermented in new oak, it has a creamy spice edge to its honeyed lemon fruit. Perfect with sauced white meats.
