Chateau Marsau,
For laying down,
From the famed Chadronnier family of Dourthe, makers of our best-selling “Good Ordinary Claret”, comes this truly fantastic Côtes de Francs. Delicious, plummy, cassis fruit coats the palate. Medium-bodied, the tannins are ripe and yet have just the right amount of grip. The acidity is remarkably refreshing. From an exemplary vintage, this will provide enormous satisfaction and early drinking pleasure. It’s a lot of wine for little money. Drink 2019-2024.
Ready, but will improve,
Aromas of red fruit and vanilla point to a luxurious 12-month stay in oak (30 percent of it new). The palate combines a fleshy red plum character with a cool, mineral core. This is approachable now, but has the concentration (yields at Marsau average of just 38 hl/ha) and structure to improve over the next decade. Drink now to 2027
Ready, but will keep,
We are delighted to offer this beautiful wine again En Primeur. We are not sure we agree with Mr Parker on his comparison to the most expensive wine in Bordeaux however it is delicious! The 2000 and 2001 are both drinking beautifully at the moment and we are sure the 2005 is even better.
Made predominantly from Merlot, the pure ripe tannins in this wine provide a lovely backbone to the ripe blackcurrant and cherry fruit. This region could be one of the next big things in Bordeaux so pick up a case or two to stay ahead of the game.

A lovely property in the tiny appellation of the Côtes de Francs, the 2017 Marsau is deep ruby in colour with attractive aromas of bright redcurrants and wild black cherries, courtesy of the juicy Merlot dominance in the blend. Medium bodied on the palate with crunchy red fruit and silky, integrated tannins. A touch of chalkiness to the acidity brings a freshness throughout, and a purity of red cherry and forest fruit sits at the heart of this crowd-pleasing style. Suave and finely textured, a very decent effort which will drink well from 2020 – 2026+.
