The Wine
Bordeaux "2020 represents a third super-quality vintage in a row," declared critic James Suckling, while Antoni Galloni wrote "the best 2020s are incredibly exciting". With a warm, dry summer, 2020 was certainly a vintage of delicious ripeness and one when Château Marsau successfully produced their third year of organically grown grapes. Quality and ripeness at harvest time was excellent. Château Marsau lies in Francs Côtes de Bordeaux, a region that offers superb quality at a fraction of the price of Pomerol and Saint-Émilion. Made from pure Merlot, it shows ripe cherry and cassis with complex layers of roasted coffee, spice, and fine tannins. A wonderful expression of Bordeaux’s most grown grape. Open early and decant or cellar awhile.

Raciness to the blue fruit. Some blackberries, mineral and a whiff of bark, cream and black mushroom
