Château Thieuley Rouge, Bordeaux 2019

Red Wine from France - Bordeaux

11 Reviews

A pure, beautifully refined blend of 70% merlot, 25% cabernet sauvignon and 5% petit verdot from the highly respected Courselle family property in La Sauve. This red Bordeaux displays lovely balance. If David Attenborough had a vineyard, it would surely look like Château Thieuley. Sisters Sylvie and Marie Courselle took the estate over from their late father and are a powerhouse for the natural world. ‘Our grandfather had trees in the vineyard, our father took them out (as that was the wisdom of the time) and we are now putting them back in’. Support from the Climate and Nature Programme will help Sylvie and Marie in their life’s work to bring nature into their vineyard by planting more than a kilometre of hedgerows and 150 olive trees. Together this will create corridors between existing woods, ponds and orchards, ensuring continuous shelter and forage for wildlife, as well as helping the estate increase their production of olive oil, improving their financial resilience in tough times.

Château Thieuley

Francis Courselle was one of the first to show the Bordelais how to make dry white wine that people want to drink. While teaching at Bordeaux University, he was putting his ideas into practice with considerable success at his charming property Château Thieuley at La Sauve, in the centre of Entre-Deux-Mers. His secret lies in harvesting high-quality fruit and preserving its aroma and character in bottle. His two daughters have now followed in his footsteps and are making better wine than ever at this excellent property.

Environmental sustainability
The vineyard and winery are certified sustainable by three different organisations. Terra Vitis is a certification for wine growers only. Bee Friendly is focused on protection of bees and pollinators. HV3 is set up to recognise high values for the environment. There is also a strong commitment to biodiversity, which is helped by using the minimum necessary chemical inputs. Indeed, no herbicides or insecticides are used and green manure is preferred, with a focus also on recycling water at the winery.

Social sustainability
In their procurement processes, Thieuley have always chosen to support a ‘made in France’ supply chain. For packaging, labels, bottles and capsules, 98% of the companies they use are French. Many are local and sometimes, where possible, like Thieuley itself, family owned.
