Chateau Marjosse Bordeaux 2022
91 Points! This is pretty and vibrant, showing subtle cream to the red berries, currants and citrus on the nose. Quite firm and juicy on the palate with lightly chewy tannins and a fine, medium-long finish. Merlot, cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc. Drink from 2025. - JamesSuckling.com
93 Points! The 2022 Marjosse is a blend of 75% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Malbec. The wine has a deep garnet-purple color and features bright, breezy scents of red cherries and black raspberries, followed by nuances of lavender, tilled soil, and wild sage. The full-bodied palate delivers soft tannins and lively red and black fruit layers with a spicy kick to the finish. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW
Château Marjosse is a historic estate built in 1782 and located 14 km south of Saint-Emilion. Its history took a major turn in the early 1990s when the Deleuze family decided to lease part of the parcels to a young ambitious winemaker named Pierre Lurton, who would become the current General Manager of Yquem and Cheval Blanc. Little by little, he bought back the different parcels of the estate and opened a new chapter in 2017 with the arrival of Jean Marc Domme as technical director. The rest of the story is still being written as Pierre and Jean-Marc dive deeper and deeper into the subtleties of this magnificent terroir seeking to capture its essence vintage after vintage.
Its 35ha vineyard is located on exceptional clay and limestone soils. Pierre Lurton's "Secret Garden" is a patchwork of young and old vines, almost a century old.
Winemaker Notes: The past spring, very dry and unseasonnally hot, was a clear sign to Pierre Lurton and technical director Jean-Marc Domme that the weather, in 2022, would be extreme. How right they were: temperatures broke all records and the summer heat sped up the ripening of the grapes, forcing the team to kick off harvest earlier than ever.
