Château Marjosse

Château MarjosseMarjosse, located in Tizac de Curton, has been owned by Pierre Lurton for some fifteen years. From the very first vintages, the desire to produce quality wines has enabled the Marjosse brand to make a name for itself in Bordeaux.

The main advantage of Château Marjosse is its exceptional terroir. Quite rare in the Entre-Deux-Mers region, asteriated limestone, the same material for which Saint Emilion wines are famous, outcrops here. Château Marjosse has taken off again. Several high-quality plots have been added to the vineyard. The red vines are on average 20 years old, enabling Pierre Lurton and his vineyard manager to select the best plots that will now make up the first wine of the Château Marjosse (around 100,000 bottles: half the production) with the aim of restoring the brand to its former glory. Managed in the same way as the grands crus (controlled yields, optimum ripening of the grapes through careful leaf thinning, etc.), some of these vines are harvested by hand. Vinification takes place in an exceptional facility: Les Chais Pierre Lurton.

Built in Grézillac in 2000, and enlarged in 2008-2009, these buildings, perfectly integrated into their surroundings, are as aesthetic as they are functional, enabling a high-performance technical team to pursue the rigorous selection efforts undertaken in the vineyard. The first wine is traditionally aged in oak barrels, while the second wine is matured in vats, to preserve the fruit and produce a round, full-bodied wine aimed at a wider clientele.
