"Wines often reflect the people who make them. This observation applies perfectly to this wine, whose charming purple hue and bouquet mirror the character of Henri Duboscq, a talented storyteller. The aromas of red fruit are beautifully complemented by notes from the aging process (cocoa, toasted almond). It promises a delightful tasting experience to come. This impression is confirmed on the palate by its rich attack, its fine, balanced tannins, and its long, fruity finish. A remarkable success to be enjoyed in four or five years.” Delivery in a wooden case for all orders of 12 bottles of this wine (excluding Pickup Point delivery method)

Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated 16/20 (Very good wine)
Rated estate (2021 guide): 4* Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)
About the wine:
A crisp, taut wine. Rich in fruit, with a robust tannic structure.
About the estate:
This world-renowned wine is produced in Marbuzet, a hillside facing the Gironde River. Its vineyards are situated halfway between Cos d’Estournel and Montrose. Henri Dubosq, a leading figure in the Médoc, has been crafting the estate’s wines with great success since 1982. In 2006, he partnered with Michelin-starred chef Philippe Jorand to enhance the 13 hectares of Château Layauga-Duboscq, situated on prime terroirs around Gaillan and Queyrac. The wines of Haut-Marbuzet have always been full-bodied, combining roundness and richness, with excellent aging potential. Haut-Marbuzet is truly a must-visit estate within the appellation.

Wine rated (2009 guide) 16/20 (Very good wine)
Rated estate (2022 guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)
About the wine:
The wine has improved since the last tastings. It has a full-bodied and intense attack, although the aging is still very noticeable. It will be perfect in five years.
About the estate:
No other Bordeaux estate can claim to have such a devoted community of enthusiasts. For over thirty years, Haut-Marbuzet and its colorful and dynamic owner, Henri Dubosq—now supported by his sons—have won the hearts of discerning wine lovers. While these wines have long been considered charming in their youth (which they undeniably are), yet limited in terms of aging potential, one must taste the mature vintages of this Saint-Estèphe estate to understand that its terroir is above all capable of producing wines that age beautifully. The old Merlot vines planted on blue clay lend Haut-Marbuzet’s bouquet superb truffle notes reminiscent of certain old Pomerols. Like many others, the estate experienced a slight dip in form at the start of the 2000s, but its strong comeback in recent years makes it more indispensable than ever in the cellar of any wine lover.

About the wine:
A supple wine with good body and still-prominent tannins; a bit austere at the moment, but it will open up in two years.
