Tasting notes
The 2021 Marjosse has a crisp blackberry, blueberry and iris flower nose, tight at first but opening with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with firm, grainy tannins that frame the marine-tinged black fruit. Fine delineation on the finish. No doubt this will be unbeatable value-for-money.

The 2021 Marjosse is a racy, pungent wine loaded with aromatic intensity. Black cherry, plum, sage, mint, dried herbs and tobacco all take shape in this mid-weight red from Pierre Lurton. There's terrific energy, tension and class. The blend is 70% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Malbec, which is today less Merlot and more Cabernets than in the past. I tasted the 2021 next to the 2020, 2019 and 2018, and it held up just fine. Tasted two times.
Bursting with aromas of plums, rose petals, burning embers and licorice, the 2021 Marjosse is medium-bodied, supple and charming, with melting tannins and lively acids. It's a strong effort from Pierre Lurton's estate in the Entre-Deux-Mers.
