Château Marjosse

Château Marjosse, located in Tizac de Curton, has been owned by Pierre Lurton for around fifteen years. From the very first vintages, the desire to produce high-quality wines has resulted in excellent wines and made the Marjosse brand well known in Bordeaux.

Château Marjosse 's main asset is its exceptional terroir. Quite rare in Entre-Deux-Mers, the Astéries limestone, the same that made the wines of Saint Emilion famous, is found here at the surface. Château Marjosse has taken off again. Several high-quality plots have been added to the vineyard. The red vines, which are 20 years old on average, allow Pierre Lurton and his vineyard manager to select the best plots to produce Château Marjosse's first wine (around 100,000 bottles: half of the production) with the aim of restoring this brand to its former glory. Managed in the same way as grands crus (yield control, optimal ripening of the grapes thanks to careful leaf removal, etc.), these vines are partly harvested by hand. The vinification process takes place in an exceptional facility: Les Chais Pierre Lurton.

Built in Grézillac in 2000 and expanded in 2008-2009, these buildings, which blend perfectly into their surroundings and are as aesthetic as they are functional, enable a highly skilled technical team to continue the rigorous selection process undertaken in the vineyard. The first wine is aged in the traditional manner in oak barrels, while the second wine is aged in vats in order to preserve the fruit and produce a round, delicious wine intended for a wider clientele.
