Chateau Marjosse Bordeaux Blanc 2025
Every year, the Marjosse Blanc is one of those few white Bordeaux releases worth all the hype and anticipation it receives. It’s the same wine that The Wine Advocate wrote “punches above its weight, offering a level of quality and complexity that belies its price point.” That echoed what Lisa Perotti-Brown of The Wine Independent said, who called the Marjosse Blanc “unbelievably great value for the money.”
Only one critic has gotten to the new 2025 vintage thus far, but they were just as high on this wine as I am. Antonio Galloni called this beauty “a total delight” and a “great apertif-style wine.” I’m telling you this is one of the White Bordeaux Values of the Year.
Original price was: $24.00.$18.50Current price is: $18.50.

Always terrific, the 2023 Chateau Marjosse Blanc is no exception and has vibrant crushed citrus, lemon zest and minty herb notes in its medium-bodied, bright, racy and mineral-driven profile. It’s a beautiful white well worth seeking out.
92 Points, James Suckling
This has juicy and tense fruit with a zesty and spicy character. Notes of apples and pears. It’s medium-bodied, fresh and crunchy with racy acidity.
91 Points, Decanter
High spice, showing cloves and white pepper along with attractive fleshy peaches. Chinese spice pear, nectarine pit, good balance, gentle finish. 5% oak for ageing, with the rest in stainless steel.
90 Points, Vinous
The 2023 Marjosse Blanc is delicious. Crisp and inviting, the 2023 will make a delightful aperitif-style white over the next few years. Crushed rocks, mint, white pepper and lime lend lovely nuance throughout. Floral top notes and tropical overtones really explode on the finish.
90 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
The 2023 Marjosse Blanc offers up aromas of white fruits, spring flowers and lemon oil intertwined with exotic notes, followed by a medium-bodied, juicy and balanced, incisive and round palate, concluding with a mouthwatering, saline finish. This well-crafted white from Bordeaux, a blend of 38% Sauv Blanc, 52% Semillon, 5% Sauvignon Gris and 5% Muscadelle punches above its weight, offering a level of quality and complexity that belies its price point.
Our run with Chateau Marjosse in Bordeaux has been incredible, and it’s only getting better. We’ve done a number of offers of the estate’s Red Bordeaux, but never of their white. If anyone knows a little bit about Marjosse or their owner/winemaker…this one might sound the alarm.
Chateau Marjosse is home to one of Bordeaux’s most famous and respected winemakers, Pierre Lurton (Château Cheval Blanc and Château d’Yquem). It is quite literally his home estate. He calls this special place his “secret garden that gives [him] energy” and if you’ve met Pierre, you’ve probably wondered how this man has so much of it.
One distinct advantage that the Chateau enjoys over the competition is the soil.
Even though the fruit comes from Entre-Deux-Mers, it has the exact kind of limestone that you’d find in abundance throughout the Saint-Emilion property. That’s extremely rare for EDM – it gives that same special lift to the wine, with bright acidity to match a pretty intense and highly concentrated frame.
Every year, the Marjosse Blanc is one of those few white Bordeaux releases worth all the anticipation. Still, no year’s release has been quite as decorated as this one.
