Chateau Clos Marsalette 2022

JAMES SUCKLING: "A fresh and bright wine with blueberry, chocolate, spice, and walnut aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied with fine tannins. Hints of dark earth. Well done."

FALSTAFF: "Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Zart floral, ein Hauch von Weichseln und roten Kirschen, zart nach Mandarinenzesten, tabakige Nuancen, einladendes Bukett. Saftig, balanciert, frische Zwetschken, lebendiger Säurebogen, zitroniger Nachhall."

JEB DUNNUCK: "The 2022 Clos Marsalette is a beauty, with a round, soft, sexy style that still stays elegant and pretty. Red and black fruits, ripe tobacco, and leafy herbs define the aromatics, and it's medium to full-bodied on the palate, with quality tannins. This total charmer will drink well right out of the gate."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Smoke, black fruits, and tobacco leaf form the perfume. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, soft, elegant, creamy, fresh, and elegant, leaving you with sweet, black fruits with a touch of leafy-tobacco in the finish. The wine blends 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 49% Merlot, and 1% Cabernet Franc. Drink from 2025-2034."

WEINWISSER: "Feingliedriges, blaubeeriges Bouquet, Lakritze und Veilchenparfüm. Am satten Gaumen mit softer, gut strukturierter Textur, herrlicher Extraktfülle, stützender Rasse und mittlerem Körper. Im aromatischen Finale Heidelbeergelee, helle Mineralik und feinsandige Adstringenz. 2028 – 2042."
