A Saint-Julien classic in perfect half-bottle form — blackcurrant, cedar and violets, poised and beautifully proportioned.
Clos du Marquis draws on a historic Saint-Julien estate with roots in the nineteenth century, the label first appearing in 1902. The fruit comes from parcels sitting within the commune’s finest neighbourhood, close to Château Léoville Las Cases and Château Talbot, and the 2019 blends Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot and Cabernet Franc in the classic Left Bank mould.
Aged in oak barrels, it is full-bodied without heaviness: dark fruit at the core, cedar and fine tannin around the edges, and the freshness that marks the 2019 vintage in Bordeaux. The half bottle is the ideal format for two people over dinner, or for anyone wanting to taste a serious Saint-Julien without committing to a full 75cl.
Serve with: grilled ribeye, roast duck, lamb, mushroom and truffle dishes, or aged Gouda and Gruyère.
