Description
The estate
Great terroirs are not exclusively limited to the most famous appellations and Chateau Marsau is the perfect example.
The vineyard
Established in a very green setting on one of the highest points of the Francs Cotes de Bordeaux appellation, east of Saint-Emilion, Chateau Marsau boasts a 13-hectare vineyard with a superb terroir. Planted in clay soils, a single grape variety flourishes perfectly: Merlot, the Dark Lord of the right bank of the Bordeaux region.
The wine
2021 is the estate’s first certified organic vintage.
The vintage
2021 was a challenging vintage with extreme conditions. The vineyard was not only affected by a spring frost, but also by an episode of mildew. Despite low yields (26 hl), the grapes harvested are balanced and expressive.
The blend
Merlot (100%).
The tasting
Nose
Fresh, the nose gives off an array of floral fragrances.
Palate
The palate is bright and seductive with its lively and refined expression.
