Chateau Marojallia Margaux 2020 i trækasse

Om Château Marojallia

Beliggenhed: Margaux 
2. vin: Clos Margalaine
Beplantet areal: 6 ha 
Plantede druesorter: 70 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot
Fadmodning: 18-24 mdr. på 100 % nye nye barriquefade

Mikro-cuvéen Château Marojallia blev lanceret 144 år for sent til at blive klassificeret 1855 Grand Cru Classé… Men kvaliteten er i samme luftlag! Med hjælp fra Jean-Luc Thunevin og Murielle Andraud på Château Valandraud i Saint-Émilion – og senere superstjenen Michel Rolland -  har Philippe Porcheron siden debuten i 1999 skabt en Margaux i kultklassen. Selv i sammenligning med Cru Classé-konkurrenterne holdes udbyttet ekstremt lavt, ca. 25 hl/ha, hvilket giver frugten power og intensitet nok til at matche lagringen på helt nye barriquefade. Et must-try!

Anmeldelser af Château Marojallia Margaux 2020

95/100 James Suckling
“A very direct and well-structured Margaux with dark red fruits, hints of wood and fresh flowers. It’s medium- to full-bodied with firm tannins and a long and persistent finish.”

94/100 Antonio Galloni
“The 2020 Marojallia is just as impressive as it was from barrel. Blackberry jam, gravel, menthol, crème de cassis and dark spice infuse the 2020 with tremendous depth. This plush, sumptuous Margaux is sure to be quite the crowd pleaser.”

94/100 Andreas Larsson, Tasted
”Pure floral and intense with violet, rose petal, ripe dark fruit and some exotic mint/eucalyptus notes with discreet wood and roasted coffee notes. The palate is ample and powerful with a very fine grained texture, ripe extract, layers of ripe dark fruit, well balanced with a long and lingering finish.”

93/100 Vinous
“The 2020 Marojallia is one of the best releases to date with a very well-defined nose that is more sophisticated than previous vintages, a mélange of red and black fruit, , graphite and bay leaf. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannins, tensile and structured but there is real elegance and precision here. This is well worth hunting down.”

92/100 Decanter
“A big step-up from the second wine, with excellent depth and spice. These are sombre tannins but layered up against gentle mocha, chocolate and spiced herbs. Things lift on the finish, giving the final impression of balance and freshness - takes you on a progression through the palate, which is the mark of a successful wine.”

92/100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
“Dried flowers, incense, spice, espresso and black currants show in the nose. On the palate the wine is round, supple, creamy, polished and forward with a finish packed with black and red currants and chocolate.”
