Château Marsau, Côtes de Bordeaux Francs - 2016

Beware, we're going upstairs! Notes of fresh fruit and violets typical of the great Merlot on clay make their appearance, gaining in distinction, refinement and seduction. A lively and very full attack, for a rising wine, fantastically juicy and without interference from the maturing process, the latter melting into a dense and united substance. Already open, it seems to have at least another ten years or more under its belt. The finish has great energy and the richness of the vintage (14.5°) melts into a great wine structure. It will go far. Guide Vert RVF: 92/100; The Wine Independent: 92/100; Wine Spectator: 91/100; Jeff Leve: 90/100; Tim Atkin: 93/100; James Suckling: 94/100
