Chateau Thieuley Bordeaux Blanc 2022 750 ML

The estate\n\nChateau Thieuley emerged from history in 1950 when Andre Courselle bought the Chateau to turn it into a wine estate. In 1972, his son Francis changed the destiny of the estate by transforming the vineyard. The property's original 4 hectares were extended to 80 hectares, covering Chateau Thieuley, Clos Saint Anne and Chateau Saint Genes. The inherited passion for wine runs through the family's veins, as today Sylvie and Marie Courselle, both agricultural engineers and oenologists, together drive forward with great talent the quality of the monumental work accomplished by their father.\n\nThe vineyard\n\nProduced in the Bordeaux Dry White wines appellation, this Chateau Thieuley 2022 comes from vineyards that rest on clay-limestone soils.\n\nIn a perpetual quest for excellence and respect for the environment, the estate manages its vineyards in a sustainable manner. Labelled "Terra Vitis," "High Environmental Value" and "Bee Friendly," Chateau Thieuley has made the protection of biodiversity a strong and continuing value.\n\nThe vintage\n\nThe year 2022 was marked by a spring frost which had a 50% impact on the vineyards dedicated to white wines. Historically early in order to preserve balance and freshness, the harvest began on 18 August and ended on 1 September.\n\nWinemaking and ageing\n\nSkin maceration was followed by pneumatic pressing under nitrogen. Alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel vats before maturing on its lees for five months with stirring.
