Marie and Sylvie Courselle are two French sisters who are blazing their own path in the world of winemaking. With their bold and unconventional approach, they have become a force to be reckoned with in the Bordeaux region.
Their vineyard, located just 25 km from Bordeaux at the historic family property of Chateau Thieuley, is a testament to their passion and dedication. Growing up in the region and studying their craft, the Courselle sisters have a deep understanding of the complexities of their family's vineyard and its potential. It was this knowledge and their desire to create wines that reflected their values and family history that led them to break tradition and plant Syrah and Chardonnay vines alongside the traditional Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Sauvignon Blanc.
Their risk has certainly paid off, as their wines have become a hit with critics and wine lovers alike. The sisters have also worked tirelessly to obtain their sustainable certification from Terra Vitis, ensuring that their vineyard remains healthy and vibrant, resulting in wines that truly shine.
Their two wines, "Les copains" and "Les copines," are a reflection of who they are - fun, festive, and meant to be shared with friends. These wines have a lively and crisp character, with aromas of white flowers, ripe peach, mango, and passion fruit in the white and friendly notes of red fruits and a spicy finish in the red. And with their sustainable high-density vineyard, the Courselle sisters are setting a new standard for quality and value in Bordeaux.
Their modern winemaking style may be unconventional, but as wine critic Mike Bennie puts it, "gosh how good is the result?" These wines bring a breath of fresh air to the region, and their rebellious spirit has resulted in wines that are truly unique and full of character.
In the words of the Courselle sisters themselves, "don’t forget, empty glasses remain full of memories!" So why not raise a glass of their "Le Petit Courselle" red or white and make some unforgettable memories of your own. Cheers to the remarkable sisters who are making their mark on the world of wine, one sip at a time.
