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

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.

91 Points, Tasting Panel – 90 Points, Wine Enthusiast
There’s a consistency to Pierre Sparr wines that consumers just know they can count on throughout the entire portfolio. The wines deliver aromatics, elegance, clean fruit and are packed with vibrancy. They also happen to be extremely food-friendly, especially in the past few vintages where yields were down but quality rose to an all-time high. This is a bone-dry beauty with layers of citrus fruits, framed by wet stone and mineral character that adds dimension.
100 Points, Jeb Dunnuck – 99 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate – 99 Points, Lisa Perotti-Brown
“Pure perfection in a glass, the incredible 2009 Troplong Mondot offers off the chart notes of blackcurrants, licorice, truffles and saddle leather that just soar from the glass. This is a big, ripe, incredibly sexy wine that hits the palate with a huge texture, building, ripe tannin, no weight, and a finish that just won’t quit. Utterly brilliant stuff, it’s slightly more approachable than the 2005, but both of these vintages play in the same style. Drink bottles anytime over the coming two to three decades. Bravo!” -Jeb Dunnuck
90-92 Pts, Parker’s Wine Advocate – 91 Pts (Editors’ Choice), Wine Enthusiast – 91 Pts, Decanter
The wines get consistent high praise but 2018 is truly something special. 90-92 from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate. 91 points and an Editor’s Choice designation from Wine Enthusiast. 91 more from Decanter who provides “There is so much to enjoy in the smaller appellations this year. Drinking Window 2022 – 2031” and another 90 point score from James Suckling. This is a home run value – especially for the price.
98 Points, Jeb Dunnuck – 97 Points, Decanter – 97 Points, The Wine Independent
“After sampling 86 wines over a two-day marathon with Realm Cellars co-owners Scott Becker and winemaker Benoit Touquette, I had no doubt that one would make my top 10 list of the year. It would be ‘The Bard’, which will be available beginning in 2024. It is a very giving wine that promises great rewards for long-term cellaring and is enjoyable three full nights in a row, never losing its zeal if having one great glass each night is your prerogative. Power and muscle frame the core of this towering red, with its red-toned fruits and rich, toasty oak spice nuance by bay Laurel and pastis. Full-bodied with tremendous decadence of chocolaty tannins that are pliant and billowy, lifted by supple blackberry and black raspberry fruit, a drizzle of cherry coulis, and resolving with refined tobacco, cedar wood spice, and laced with coriander and cumin aromatics. It has a satisfyingly rich finish. Number five of my top wines of 2023.” -Decanter
