A great wine from a small Pessac winery. All the aromas of a classic Graves, with some broad shoulders. it is a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 49% Merlot and a drop of Cabernet Franc. A charming wine. One of the Properties owned by Stephen von Neipperg, which include Chateau Canon la Gaffeliere, Chateau D'Aiguilhe and Clos L'Oratorie
"Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 Clos Marsalette leaps from the glass with bold notes of stewed black plums, ripe blackberries and mulberries, plus hints of bay leaves, crushed rocks and damp soil. The full-bodied palate delivers mouth-coating black fruits with lovely freshness and loads of earthy accents coming through on the long, plush-textured finish."
- 93/100, Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Advocate
