Château Marjosse Rouge 2022

Château Marjosse 2022 - Bordeaux, France

A beautifully balanced and expressive Bordeaux from Château Marjosse, the personal estate of Pierre Lurton (who also manages Château Cheval Blanc and Château d’Yquem). The 2022 vintage shows ripe black and red fruit - blackberry, plum and raspberry - lifted by subtle hints of citrus peel, sage and wild herbs. The palate is medium-to-full-bodied with juicy fruit framed by smooth, velvety tannins and bright acidity, leading to a long, harmonious finish with spice and gentle mineral detail. This is classic Bordeaux elegance with structure and approachability in equal measure, and it's earned its deserved "critical darling" status with grace and persistence. 90+ point Bordeaux bottles at this comparatively modest price point are becoming increasingly rare birds, especially any with medium-term cellar potential like this one.
