2018 La Petite Marquise du Clos du Marquis

France / Bordeaux / Medoc / Haut-Medoc / Saint-Julien Rouge
 
La Petite Marquise du Clos du Marquis is the Second Wine from the Clos du Marquis in Saint-Julien, Bordeaux.
 
On the Saint-Julien appellation, the climatic conditions were favourable for healthy and optimal vegetative development, after a rather slow start. The summer was hot and especially dry, marking the birth of this great vintage, boasting a stunning maturing ability.
Elegance, finesse, aromas of ripe and tart black fruits, La Petite Marquise confirms with freshness its brotherhood bond with its first wine.
 
Wine Enthusiast/Roger Voss tasting notes 93/100 (2021): "The second wine from the Clos du Marquis, this has great presence, structure, and bold black fruits. As the wine moves ahead in its development, it shows hints of softening. The potential is here and the wine will age well. Drink from 2026".

Blend:
45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 23% Cabernet Franc.
