Chateau Marjosse is the family vineyard of Pierre Lurton, the previous CEO/Managing Director at the prestigious Château Cheval Blanc and Château d'Yquem! A $12 Bordeaux with ties to these massive names is a true rarity!
Located in the Entre-Deux-Mers, Chateau Marjosse benefits from an exceptional terroir composed of Astéries limestone, similar to the famous appellation of Saint-Emilion, this is very rare in the Entre-Deux-Mers region and the finished product truly shines.
Some of the most famous critics in the world are recognizing the value Chateau Marjosse brings to the table. Antonio Galloni stated, “Unquestionably, this estate is acclaimed as one of the most outstanding for value in the Bordeaux region,” and prominent Bordeaux reviewer Neal Martin wrote, "Is this Bordeaux's best bargain? Quite probably. This is a must-buy."
This is the definition of a "case buy" and everyone needs to take advantage here!
"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." - 94 Points Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Independent
