Chateau Marjosse, Bordeaux Rouge, 2019
Right Bank Bordeaux from Pierre Lurton, who also directs Cheval Blanc. Lurton began acquiring this Entre-Deux-Mers property piece by piece starting in 1991—Bordeaux's worst frost year—and became full owner of 40 hectares in 2013. The 2019 blend is 88% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc, 4% Cabernet Sauvignon from exceptional clay-limestone soils 14 km south of Saint-Émilion. Lurton applies Grand Cru principles to this lesser-known corner. Technical director Jean-Marc Domme, who joined in 2017, brings Pomerol expertise. Built in 1782.
