Château Marjosse Bordeaux 2020

"A personal favorite" - Robert Parker
"Et virkelig flot glas klassisk Bordeaux." - Mad & Monopolet

Pierre Lurtons eget vinslot… Château Marjosse er den vildeste supervalue fra Bordeaux-ikonet bag 1. Cru Classé Chateau d’Yquem og den mest ikoniske St-Émilion-rødvin, Cheval Blanc! Pierre Lurton har siden 1991 været ansvarlig for en række af Cheval Blancs mest legendariske årgange, men han lægger mindst lige så meget kærlighed i sin Château Marjosse… Det er nemlig her på slottet, halvvejs mellem Bordeaux of Saint-Émilion, han bor. Da området ikke er kendt for kostbar Grand Cru Classé, må Pierre sælge sin Grand Vin alt, alt for billigt i forhold til topkvaliteten…

Beplantningstætheden på vinskråningerne er øget, hvilket giver mørk powerfrugt med op mod 15% alkohol. Vinkælderens faciliteter er totalrenoverede. Druerne håndhøstes og vinificeres parcel-for-parcel, og de næstbedste druer bruges i andenvinen Boisset la Chapelle. Kun de bedste parcellers bedste druer finder vej til topvinen Château Marjosse, som Pierre giver 25 dages macerationstid og forkæler 12 måneder på de fineste franske egetræsfade, heraf 50% helt nye.

Et absolut topkøb som INGEN Bordeaux-fan må misse…

Anmeldelser af Chateau Marjosse 2020

96/100 Ralf Angerer, Sommelier

94/100 The Wine Independent
"Medium garnet-purple in color, the 2020 Marjosse Rouge needs a little coaxing to reveal notes of cast-iron pan, crushed rocks, and dusty soil over a core of red plums, blackberry preserves, and mulberries, plus a hint of bay leaves. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is tightly knit with fine-grained tannins and bold freshness supporting the nuanced black and red fruits, finishing long and minerally."

93/100 Mad & Monopolet
"Bordeaux-blend, hvor der styres fint uden om Cabernet Sauvignon, er ikke noget, man så tit ser. Denne er på Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, og det holder virkelig. Duft af solbær, blommer, mørk chokolade, lakrids og hint af vanilje. I munden er den blid, let cremet og har blide modne tanniner, som sammen med frugten fremstår i perfekt balance. Et virkelig flot glas klassisk Bordeaux. 1 stk 199,95 – v/ 6 fl. 119,95"

"A dazzling nose of black fruits and cocoa, opulent but full of freshness. An impressive mouthfeel of purity, juicy and perfectly Al dente, with nicely chiseled tannins."

91-93/100 Robert Parker
"Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2020 Marjosse comes barreling out of the glass with rambunctious scents of cassis, crushed blackberries and black plum preserves, followed by hints of dark chocolate, anise and tar, plus a fragrant waft of lavender. The medium-bodied palate is soft, juicy and wonderfully refreshing, delivering wonderful poise and expression with a fun burst of pure black fruit on the finish. Delicious!"

"Bouquet of good intensity, revealing flowery and fruity nuances. Notes of cherries and raspberries. Juicy and fruity attack. On the palate, the wine has firm, juicy tannins. An exact, classy wine, well kept by its tannins and a lively structure. Fruity and refreshing finish."

91-92/100 Bettane & Desseauve

90-92/100 Y. Castaing, Anthocyanes

91/100 Decanter
"A touch of reduction on the nose which clears as it relaxes in the glass. This is well put together, has definition and finesse, and is punching above its weight in the appellation. Ambitious, well managed tannins and juicy red fruits; 2% Malbec completes the plantings."

91/100 La Revue du Vin de France
"Marjosse 2020 is pricked with a gluttony of fresh fruit, delicacy of tannins and a sandy finish, the wine matured in 400 liters reveals a perfect sapidity and a sensitive friendliness. The refreshing finish reflects the agio-limestone of the soil."

90/100 James Suckling
"This shows notes of ripe berries, vanilla, licorice, crushed walnut and cocoa. Medium-bodied with ripe, supple tannins and a creamy texture. Fruit-forward and flavorful."
