Description
A well-balanced and floral red wine from Francs Côtes de Bordeaux appellation
The estate
Great terroirs are not exclusively limited to the most famous appellations and Château Marsau is the perfect example.
The vineyard
Established in a very green setting on one of the highest points of the Francs Côtes de Bordeaux appellation, east of Saint-Emilion, Château Marsau boasts a 13-hectare vineyard with a superb terroir. Planted in clay soils, a single grape variety flourishes perfectly: Merlot, the Dark Lord of the right bank of the Bordeaux region.
The wine
2021 is the estate’s first certified organic vintage.
The vintage
2021 was a challenging vintage with extreme conditions. The vineyard was not only affected by a spring frost, but also by an episode of mildew. Despite low yields (26 hl), the grapes harvested are balanced and expressive.
The blend
Merlot (100%).
