“Always outstanding—this is a magnificent white wine that deserves your full attention! ~ Jeb Dunnuck”

“Marjosse Blanc 2023 is delicious. Crisp, lively, and inviting, the 2023 will make a delightful aperitif white wine in the coming years. Crushed stone, mint, white pepper, and lime bring lovely nuances throughout the tasting. The floral top notes and tropical nuances really burst through on the finish. ” (Vinous 2024) - Pierre Lurton, director of the Yquem and Cheval Blanc estates, is the owner of this Gem as an aperitif or paired with a seafood platter.

Rated 3 stars (A high-quality product that serves as a benchmark in its sector)

About the estate:

Pierre Lurton, who is also director of Château Cheval Blanc and president of Château d’Yquem, purchased Château Marjosse more than twenty years ago, drawn by the old vines and the quality of the terroir: a rarity in the Entre-Deux-Mers region, the asterian limestone—the same that has made Saint-Émilion famous—lies just below the surface here. The quality and consistency of this wine, both white and red, are astonishing. The wines display remarkable balance and purity. They feature vibrant fruit, a silky and harmonious texture, and are highly drinkable while also showing excellent aging potential.

Wine rated (2024 guide) 92/100

About the wine:

Although it initially exhibits distinct varietal aromas, with Sauvignon Blanc taking center stage, as it settles in the glass, I appreciate the energy and subtle opulence from the Sémillon, which offers notes of white stone fruit, as well as lemon zest and plenty of invigorating freshness on the medium-length finish. Aged for several months on the lees in concrete tanks, with regular stirring, and only 5% aged in oak barrels. A wine to enjoy on its own or with pan-seared scallops and risotto. 2025–2030

Marjosse Blanc 2023 is delicious. Crisp, lively, and inviting, the 2023 will make a delightful aperitif white wine in the coming years. Crushed stone, mint, white pepper, and lime bring lovely nuances throughout the tasting. The floral top notes and tropical undertones really burst through on the finish. Tasted twice. 2025–2030

About the wine:

This wine features juicy, crisp fruit with zesty and spicy notes. Hints of apple and pear. It is medium-bodied, fresh, and crisp with a lively acidity.

About the wine:

Always outstanding, the 2023 Château Marjosse Blanc is no exception to the rule, offering vibrant notes of crushed citrus, lemon zest, and minty herbs in its medium-bodied, bright, elegant, and mineral-driven profile. It is a magnificent white wine that deserves your full attention.

About the wine:

Aromas of lemon, grapefruit, and green apple fill the nose. On the palate, the wine is fresh, lively, and crisp, with notes of crisp green apples and lemon juice on the finish. Easy to drink, it’s an excellent summer wine to pair with seafood or simply to enjoy on its own. Best enjoyed between 2025 and 2030.
