Clos du Marquis, St-Julien - 2023

Viticulture

Clos du Marquis was created in 1902. This cru is made under the same conditions as the cru classé, using grapes from the western part of the estate - a high-quality terroir surrounded by 2èmes crus, but with different characteristics to the grand vin, which adjoins Latour. The blend is slightly richer in Merlot.

Oenology

The grapes are harvested by hand. Vinification is carried out in a wide range of wooden, cement and stainless steel vats, from 40hl to over 200hl, enabling us to adapt flexibly to the size of each batch. After transfer, the wine is aged for around twenty months in oak barrels (around 25% new). It is then fined with fresh egg white before bottling. Throughout the winemaking process, every effort is made by the owners and their team to obtain wines of the highest quality, expressing their terroir in the best possible way and possessing sufficient ageing potential.
