It astonishes me that a wine of this quality and provenance is available at such a ridiculous price point. But – this is a passion project for Pierre Lurton, the managing director of the infamous Cheval Blanc and Yquem.
He lives on the property now and describes it’s appeal: “Marjosse is my secret garden. It gives me energy. It is important for me to have this place and share it.”
Despite receiving similar treatment in the cellar to his other infamous estates – each parcel vinified separately, half new oak, and receiving dozens of great scores and reviews, the wines are among the best values in the entire wine world. We have 3 straight vintage of very highly rated Marjosse Bordeaux for an incredibly good price today. Each vertical sampler pack includes:
(4 btls.) Chateau Marjosse Bordeaux 2018 – 92+ Pts, Wine Advocate – 92 Pts, Wine Independent
(4 btls.)Chateau Marjosse Bordeaux 2019 – 93 Pts, Wine Independent – 92 Pts, Wine Advocate
(4 btls.) Chateau Marjosse Bordeaux 2020 – 94 Pts, Wine Independent – 93 Pts, Wine Advocate

2020 Chateau Marjosse
94 Points, Lisa Perotti-Brown, Wine Independent
93 Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2020 Marjosse comes barreling out of the glass with rambunctious scents of cassis, crushed blackberries and black plum preserves, followed by hints of dark chocolate, anise and tar, plus a fragrant waft of lavender. The medium-bodied palate is soft, juicy and wonderfully refreshing, delivering wonderful poise and expression with a fun burst of pure black fruit on the finish. Delicious!
2019 Chateau Marjosse
93 Points, Lisa Perotti-Brown, Wine Independent
92 Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate
“Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2019 Marjosse has a come-hither nose of kirsch, stewed black cherries and warm plums with hints of spice cake, wilted roses, oolong tea and Sichuan pepper. The medium-bodied palate is plushy textured with bags of scrumptious black and red fruits and a lively backbone, finishing fragrant.”
2018 Chateau Marjosse
93 Points, Lisa Perotti-Brown, Wine Independent
92+ Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate
The 2018 Marjosse is made up of 80% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet Franc with a splash of old Malbec. Big old barrels were used for 25% of the crop. Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, it opens with a compelling nose of baking spices, raspberry pie, warm red and black currants, rose hip tea and fragrant earth with a waft of wild sage. Medium-bodied, the palate is filled with fragrant red and black fruit, framed by great freshness and soft, supple tannins, finishing on a floral note.
97 Pts, Parker’s Wine Advocate – 96 Pts, Vinous – 95+ Pts, Jeb Dunnuck
“The 2021 Syrah Colson Canyon Vineyard is a perfumed powerhouse! Opaque ruby-purple, it has a concentrated core of cassis with touches of tar, thyme, grilled meats, menthol and bitter chocolate. The full-bodied palate is ripe and concentrated with surprising freshness for its style. It has a pleasantly chalky frame and a very long finish replete with violet perfume. This hedonistic Syrah could use another 5+ years in bottle to unwind and will be long-lived in the cellar. Best After 2024.”
94 Points, Decanter – 93 Points, James Suckling
Decanter’s Italian Wine Expert Michaela Morris says that the 2019 vintage for Vino Nobile should yield, “loads of enjoyment for the next 7-10 years of drinking” and then she would go on to name her favorite 2019 Vino Nobile that she tasted… yep you guessed it, Boscarreli. She described it as, “Fleshy, chewy, racy and nuanced – simply one of the best straight up Vino Nobiles I have tasted.”
94 Points, Jeb Dunnuck
This is a historic estate that is one of the best and oldest in the region and arguably the first to bottle their own estate CDP. Their newly released 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape is a total gem – a seamless blend of mainly Grenache, Mourvedre and Syrah with a little Cinsault blended in. Wine Spectator called the wine, “silky” and elegant and Jeb Dunnuck took it up a step further when he declared the wine, “a big winner, with the vintage’s purity and elegance front and center” in his rave 94-point review.
The newly released 2021 Domaine Laroche Chablis Saint Martin has some big shoes to fill as the last three vintages have earned 92-points or higher, but the early indications are that this is line with previous vintages if not even a little bit ahead at this stage. The problem is – there’s almost none to go around with much smaller yields. Still this is beautiful and crisp, with good focus, energy and depth. I get the signature green fruits on the nose, with some Asian pear, and a hint of jasmine blossom. There’s a beautiful mineral streak that highlights this one. It’s a fantastic White Burg for the price.
