94 points “There’s a very bright and ripe array of dark berries and plums with an earthy edge as well as nuances of sweetly fragrant black truffle. The palate has a very supple and fluid core of ripe dark plums with a very sleek polished and compressed bed of tannins. Great depth and drive here through the finish. Mouth-watering pure Merlot.” – James Suckling
Robert Parker considers Château Marsau such “a revelation for this particular appellation” that he had to ask himself: “Is it the Pétrus of the Côtes de Francs?” This 100% Merlot is certainly opulent one might say almost Napa-esque. Located a few kilometres east of Saint-Émilion this little-known appellation has to work twice as hard as its neighbours to get noticed. And Château Marsau works its socks off. Rich jammy and creamy with raspberry cherry clove black pepper orange peel mocha vanilla and tobacco nuances. We cannot recommend this highly enough. A dinner party go-to.
