Château Marjosse Bordeaux 2022

The 2022 Marjosse is a bright, nervy red. Floral notes, orange peel, mint and white pepper lend notable energy throughout. Readers will find an atypically vibrant wine for the year. More than anything else, the 2022 represents a pretty significant shift for Marjosse toward a style that focuses on greater freshness than in the past.

This is pretty and vibrant, showing subtle cream to the red berries, currants and citrus on the nose. Quite firm and juicy on the palate with lightly chewy tannins and a fine, medium-long finish. Merlot, cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc. Drink from 2025.

The white rendition of the 2022 Marjosse blanc shows a delicate, floral bouquet with aromas of lemon, spring flowers and fresh herbs, it’s medium-bodied, textured and elegant with a juicy core of fruit and a delicate, fresh finish. It could see its third anniversary in fine form.
