This pale gold Entre-deux-Mers is highly aromatic, with exotic fruit, citrus and floral notes of boxwood and broom. Fresh and lively on the palate, well-balanced with a long, flavorful finish. Enjoy with grilled fish, for example...

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2014 guide) 16/20 (vintage 2012) (Very good wine)
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: 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.
