The 2022 Château Clos du Marquis is a distinguished Saint-Julien from one of the Médoc's most respected estates. Produced from vineyards adjacent to Château Léoville Las Cases, it is crafted independently to express the exceptional terroir of Saint-Julien. The outstanding 2022 vintage delivers remarkable concentration, freshness and refinement, with aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry and dark cherry layered with cedar, violet, graphite and subtle spice.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with vibrant acidity and finely structured tannins. Flavours of ripe cassis, black plum and cocoa are complemented by notes of liquorice, crushed stone and well-integrated French oak, leading to a long, elegant finish. The wine's balance and precision make it approachable with decanting while offering outstanding ageing potential.
Ben's Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for collectors and lovers of classic Saint-Julien. Pair with roast lamb, beef fillet, duck breast, venison or aged hard cheeses. Enjoy now with a short decant or cellar confidently for the next 15–20 years as it continues to develop in complexity.
