Elaboration

Clos du Marquis Grand Vin is a red wine from the appellation Saint-Julien, in the Bordeaux region. It is a blend of 27% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc. The harvest took place on the 15th of September until the 4th of October. In the winery, Clos du Marquis follows a traditional vinification process. First, the grapes are macerated for 15-20 days and vinified at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks. The wine then ages in new 225-liter French oak barrels for 18 months before bottling.

Taster´s notes

Intense and beautiful colour. On the nose, it presents fruity and spicy aromas, with notes of cedar and oak. In the mouth, the wine is creamy, compact, and juicy. It presents the perfect combination between finesse and power. An enjoyable wine that should be ready to drink within four to six years, but the low pH and good freshness suggest it should also age well. We recommend pairing the wine with red meats, lamb, duck, game, chicken, and rare, grilled beef. We suggest a serving temperature of 16ºC

Customer Reviews

The Winery

Clos du Marquis is one of the historic estates from the Saint Julien appellation, that was split up during the French Revolution. Currently, it is owned by Jean-Hubert Delon. The name of Clos du Marquis, that was created at the beginning of the 20th century when the vineyard was planted, was inspired by the Petit Clos adjacent to the Château de Léoville, residence of the Marquis de Las Cases.
