Chateau Alcée
In July 2011, Nicolas Thienpont bought three hectares in the Côtes de Castillon area. This new wine admirably reflects the finesse, class and minerality of these soils.Old vines 50+ years. Very dark crimson. Smells of little ripe wild berries. Hint of Cab Franc's more linear character even though it is only 5%. Good combo of dry minerality and sweet fruit. VINIFICATION AND AGEING Vatting: 24 to 28 days Ageing time: 16 to 18 months Barrels: 50% new wood, 50% one-year-old wood SPECIFIC METHOD The whole berries are placed in the vats (no pressing). The vats are temperature controlled. Extraction by pumping over during the first fermentation. Malolactic fermentation in barrels and in vats. Aging on fine lees to bring down the alcohol content: first racking after 6-10 months (before the summer) and the second a year later before bottling. Fining and filtering are done only if necessary.

Chateau Les Pins de Bossuet
HISTORY The Dubost Family’s estates were created in 1957 by Paquerette and Yvon Dubost. He was the former mayor of Pomerol, so he knows its history as no one else does. His vineyards have a rich and complete range of wines. Nowadays, his son Laurent, graduated from agricultural school, runs the estate. Thanks to him and his team's hard work, he placed the wines from the Dubost estates at the fore of their appellations: Château Lafleur du Roy in Pomerol, Château les Pins de Bossuet a Bordeaux Supérieur, Château La Vallière in Lalande-de-Pomerol. Château les Pins de Bossuet was created and planted by Yvon and Pâquerette DUBOST in 1975, on exceptional parcels close to the appellations Lalande de Pomerol and Montagne Saint-Emilion. The 9 hectares are located at 70 meters of altitude, with a south west exposure, it benefits from the oceanic climate. The unique and exceptional terroir is exclusively made from gravels. The vineyard is 30 years old on average, planted with 60% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Cabernet Franc. No chemical herbicides are used in the vineyard as it is regularly tilled. Finally, in order to keep the wine quality, harvests are completely made by hand with total destemming of the bunches. The wine is rich, harmonious with nice red fruits, undergrowth and spices aromas with an excellent ageing. The color is dense with a rich bouquet of red and black fruits. The mouth is fleshy and round, with gorgeous and charming tannins and allows us to enjoy it young. Nice substance and structure for a great ageing.

Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou
As of 2019, the former Lalande-Borie wine is now Le Petit Ducru, a third wine of the wonderful Ch Ducru-Beaucaillou in Saint-Julien. Le Petit Ducru is from young vines because so much of the former Lalande-Borie site is being replanted, but still shows both austerity and power, with crunchy bright fruit, and is extremely good quality. Gourmet edging with chocolate shavings and black pepper spice, the tannins are fine but they close in more strongly on the finish.
