Tasting notes
A smoking Margaux with tons of character, the 2022 Château Marojallia showed beautifully. Ripe cherries, blueberries, spring flowers, and tobacco all make an appearance in the bouquet, and it hits the palate with a medium to full-bodied, concentrated, structured style that has everything in the right place. I don't see it being for the instant gratification crowd, but if you're able to hide these in the cellar for 4-6 years or so, you'll be a happy camper. I wouldn't be surprised to see this rival the 2009 when all is said and done.

A juicy and structured young Margaux with spice, berry and chocolate character. Medium body. Firm tannins and a savory finish.
This will be the last year for Château Marojallia to be bottled from this site, because the estate and vines have now been sold to neighbouring Château Marquis de Terme. I believe the name will still exist, but not from these vineyards, so fans should get hold of this vintage. It is, rather fittingly if you know the history of the first 'garagiste' wine in the appellation, riper than many Margaux in the vintage, meaning that it has leaned further in to the exuberance of the year in terms of celebrating deep spice, baked plum and black chocolate. Clear flashes of heat, but also plenty of enjoy and get stuck in to. Heavy bottle. 60% new barrels, 40% one-year barrels.
