Pale golden color, clear and bright. Very expressive nose - citrus (grapefruit), white fruits (pear) and exotic (lychee and pineapple) floral notes of boxwood, juniper, and laurel. Well balanced, a pleasant liveliness and a long very tasty finish.

CloseChateau Marjosse is the home estate for Pierre Lurton. Pierre Lurton is best known as the Managing Director of two First Growth Bordeaux estates. Chateau Cheval Blanc in St. Emilion and Chateau dYquem in Sauternes .
The 50-hectare vineyard of Chateau Marjosse is planted to both red and white wine grapes. For the white wines, the vineyard is planted to 45% Semillon , 45% Sauvignon Blanc and 10% Muscadelle . However, there is also a small parcel of vines planted to Chardonnay .
For the production of their red wine, the vineyard of Chateau Marjosse is planted to 80% Merlot , 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet Franc . Here, the is also a small parcel of old Malbec vine planted.
The terroir of Chateau Marjosse is sand with clay and limestone soils on sloping hillsides that rise to 60 meters at their peak. In the vineyards, Pierre Lurton watched over a replanting of the vineyards and a much tighter spacing for the new vines.
Chateau Marjosse is vinified in temperature-controlled cement vats and aged in French oak barrels. Since 2016, they have added smaller tanks to allow for more parcel by parcel vinification. This also allows for more experimentation with the small plantings of Malbec and Chardonnay.
For the white Bordeaux wine of Chateau Marjosse, vinification and aging take place in a combination of large, used 500-liter oak barrels and egg-shaped cement vats.
Chateau Marjosse Blanc can be served right out of the cellar at 14 degrees Celsius. The wine is perfect when paired with all types of seafood, shellfish, crab, lobster, sushi, sashimi, chicken, veal, and cheese.

Crisp and clean white with a medium body and bright acidity. A little reductive, with flinty notes alongside green apples, lemons, stones and seashells. Fresh.
The 2021 Marjosse Blanc is terrific. In 2021, the Blanc has a bit more texture than normal, and that works so well in playing off the natural energy that is such a signature here. Lemon confit, white flowers, lime and a touch of marzipan all grace this engaging dry white. The 2021 is showing beautifully, despite its recent bottling just a few months ago. Tasted two times.
