Château Alcée 2025

Pure and vivid blackcurrant aromas – so prominent and expressive. Supple, juicy and so alive. Acidity is at the fore for sure but it comes with softly fleshy strawberry, raspberry and cranberry fruit. Different to other terroir expressions which offer more tannic density, this is focused and streamlined with persistence. Tart, crunchy, bright and alive. Yummy. 3.3pH. Ageing 16-18 months, 30% new oak, 50% one year. Drinking window: 2027-2037. (Georgina Hindle,decanter.com)
