"An exceptional level for its category!

"Very fine, elegant and juicy, with a refined fruitiness reminiscent of prune d'ente. Silky, mischievous, the palate already plays with wood to present very delicate fruit and velvety tannins. A balanced, salivating wine, made for pleasure and to last". (Le Figaro 2022) - A gourmet red Bordeaux from Pierre Lurton, director of Châteaux d'Yquem and Cheval Blanc!

Expert opinion

3*Star rating (High-quality production, a benchmark in its sector)

About the domain :

Pierre Lurton, also director of Château Cheval Blanc and president of Château d'Yquem, bought Château Marjosse over twenty years ago, seduced by the old vines and the quality of the terroir: quite rare in the Entre-Deux-Mers region, asteriated limestone, the same that makes Saint-Emilion famous, is found here in outcrop. The quality and consistency of this wine, both white and red, is astonishing. The wines are remarkably balanced and pure. Vibrant fruit, silky, harmonious texture, great drinkability, while demonstrating a fine aptitude for ageing.

Rated wine (guide 2022) 90/100

About the wine:

Chewy, biting and full-bodied, this is a fleshy, plump style with a bouncy palate and rich, concentrated flavors - blackcurrant, red cherry and pomegranate. Hints of salinity appear on the finish, a wine with much to offer. It's a bold wine that doesn't leave you indifferent and has more mid-palate weight than others, which bodes well for its future aging. Sculpted and somewhat muscular, but with lots of energy. I love this wine. 2024-2028

Nose of plums, cherry stones and olives. Juicy and very approachable, with medium body, supple tannins and a fruity finish. Drink now.

About the wine:

Bright, dark color. Fruity, suave nose. Caressing on the attack, melting in the mid-palate, this very well-made wine caresses the palate, leaving a sensation of freshness, velvety smoothness and lots of flavor. Lovely perfume in the persistence. A super Outsider. Yield: 35 hl/ha. Harvest from September 28 to October 12.

Note and review by M. GILLES D. Published on 11/07/2024

Far from reaching the level of excellence of its 2018, 2019 and 2020 predecessors, the Marjosse 2021 continues to surprise with a straightforward, rather light alcohol profile, to which I was not accustomed. The palate stands out for its rich fruity and woody flavors, its fleshy, dynamic body, and the fine grain of refined tannins. These join with a loose finish marked by chalky freshness. A pretty everyday Bordeaux to accompany a filet mignon with first mushrooms. Score = 3.9.
