2023 Clos du Marquis, St Julien, Bordeaux

Description

Blend: 56% Cabernet Sauvignon; 35% Merlot; 9% Cabernet Franc.

In both colour and construction, this comes across as a very serious wine. It is inky dark, yet there is a core of red-fruited, sensuous Merlot character. The sterner dark fruit and bitter chocolate notes of the Cabernet Sauvignon then take control, and in a higher proportion than 2022. The is the first vintage from the estate’s new winery; it shows in the wine’s greater detail. Floral perfumes and saline textures are present, but currently muted. The wine’s promise is evident.

Saint-Julien

Saint-Julien

St Julien is the smallest of the ‘Big Four’ Médoc communes although, without any First Growths, it is recognised to be the most consistent of the main communes with many châteaux turning out impressive wines year after year. The wines can be judged as much by texture as flavour, and there is a sleek, wholesome character to the best. At their very finest they combine Margaux’s elegance and refinement with Pauillac’s power and substance.
