Chateau Haut-Marbuzet

Case Format: 75cl

Max score: 92

Drink To: 2027-2042

Classified as a cru bourgeouis, the Château Haut Marbuzet creates some of the most acclaimed wines from the Saint-Estèphe appellation. Located just 2km north of the illustrious Cos d’Estournel, Haut Marbuzet also benefits from excellent terroir, with vineyards that are planted on gravel, clay and limestone rich soils. The vineyards comprise Cabernet Sauvignon (c.50%), Merlot (c.40%), Petit Verdot (c.5%) and Cabernet Franc (c.5%). The high percentage of Merlot contributes to the wine’s fleshy, warm character, which has also been accentuated by its 100% new oak maturation. A voluptuous wine that has the ability to be drunk young, Château Haut Marbuzet is full to the brim with plump fruit, chocolatey-vanilla, and deep oak aromas. It also is able to develop well with age and is usually at its best around 10-20 years after the vintage.

Neal Martin

The 2020 Haut-Marbuzet has a lovely bouquet with pure blackberry and raspberry fruit, cedar and light tobacco scents. The palate is medium-bodied and fresh with a minty entry and fine depth, becoming almost "playful" toward the finish. What a delightful wine. It's approachable now but has the substance to reward cellaring. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.

Tasted blind. Deepest crimson. Perfumed dark fruit. Highly floral. Dry texture, dry and drying on the finish. Firm and desperately needs a bit more flesh in the middle. (JH)
