    So bright and vivid with flowers, orange peel, and currant aromas that follow through to a medium body with ultra-fine tannins and a fresh and vivid finish. Purity. You see the cabernet sauvignon clearly. Drink after 2026.
  • 94

    Nicely rendered, this manages to belie the vintage's heat, with a focused and streamlined core of dark currant and blackberry fruit studded with licorice snap, violet, alder and tobacco notes along the way. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. 

  • 93
    The 2020 Clos Marsalette is clearly outstanding, with terrific red and black fruits as well as some earthy truffle and spicy, tobacco-driven aromatics. Based on 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc, this medium to full-bodied, silky, textured 2020 is going to over-deliver over the coming 15+ years.
  • 92
    Soft grilled oak notes on the nose, this has the glamour of Clos Marsalette, beautifully expressed with a touch of bitter coffee on the finish that adds balance. Concentrated and intense, with 22hl/ha yield coming through in the depth of flavour, balanced by touches of eucalyptus and spice. 35% new oak. Tasted twice.

    The 2020 Clos Marsalette offers up rich aromas of dark berries, cherries, smoked meats and rich spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, broad and fleshy palate that's supple and enveloping, with a generous core of fruit and a savory, carnal finish. Best After 2023.

Chateau Clos Marsalette, France
Chateau Clos Marsalette Winery Image
Located in Martillac, in the Pessac-Léognan appellation, Clos Marsalette is jointly owned by Count Stephan von Neipperg and Didier Miqueu.

This vineyard sits magnificently on gravelly rises deposited eons ago by the Garonne. Offering a great diversity, the subsoil is composed of marine sediment from the Miocene and Pliocene epochs (5 to 15 million years ago) in the form of shelly sand with a bit of clay, fawn-colored sand, and multi-colored clay.

Clos Marsalette's vineyard which covers an area of 12,30 hectares (for the red wine) plus 1,30 hectares (for the white wine) is also looked after expertly in order to produce a wine reflecting the typicity of this Terroir.
