Château Marsau, Côtes de Bordeaux Francs - 2017

And here is the new Marsau, with a brilliantly floral nose that evokes syrah and even pinot; and takes us far away from Bordeaux! The florality and grace of the vintage bursts through, in some ways reminiscent of the fresh scents of the 2013 but with more everything, as if the flowers had now bloomed. It smells good and it smells strong! A marvellous attack of greed, accuracy, finesse and freshness, the wine has a very natural motricity, an exquisite taste. The nature of the tannins is as if turned upside down, one has the impression of being in direct contact with the terroir, the ageing is invisible, the wine is true. It is a great 2017, with a formidable drinkability: COUP DE COEUR!
