Chateau Marjosse Bordeaux Rouge 2022 750ml

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2022

Vinous 91 Points | The 2022 Marjosse is a bright, nervy red. Floral notes, orange peel, mint and white pepper lend notable energy throughout. Readers will find an atypically vibrant wine for the year. More than anything else, the 2022 represents a pretty significant shift for Marjosse toward a style that focuses on greater freshness than in the past.

James Suckling 91 Points | This is pretty and vibrant, showing subtle cream to the red berries, currants and citrus on the nose. Quite firm and juicy on the palate with lightly chewy tannins and a fine, medium-long finish. Merlot, cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc. Drink from 2025.

Decanter 90 Points | Located in the north of the Entre-deux- Mers, with highly reputed owner Pierre Lurton, Marjosse produces some of the best-value wines in Bordeaux. The 2022 is a Merlot-based blend with support from Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec. Blue fruit, bell pepper and a touch of spice on the nose. A generous palate with well-managed tannins and darker, more brooding black fruit and violets appearing on the finish.

Memo Summary Notes

The Château Marjosse Bordeaux Rouge 2022 is widely considered one of the best value-for-money wines in Bordeaux. It is the personal estate of Pierre Lurton, who is the Managing Director of the legendary Château Cheval Blanc and Château d'Yquem.
2022 was an exceptionally hot and dry year in Bordeaux. Marjosse benefited from its clay-limestone soils, which acted as a water reservoir, preserving freshness in a vintage known for its power.

Pairs beautifully with grilled steaks, roast lamb, duck breast, or a rich mushroom risotto. It also stands up well to aged cheeses like Comté.
