Critic reviews
"The 2019 Marsau exhibits a lively and fresh bouquet with aromas of dark cherries, flowers, peony, rose, cassis and dark berries. On the palate, this wine is beautifully balanced with finely sculpted tannins and a juicy texture representing the essence of great Merlot growing on clay soils. This is a serious wine that illustrates the estate’s upward trajectory. It will offer a broad drinking window."
Yohan Castaing, April 2023, RobertParker.com
"The 2019 Marsau is a very pretty Côtes dr Francs to drink now and over the next few years, while the sweet berry fruit remains vibrant. This attractive, mid-weight red is nicely done."
Antonio Galloni, January 2022, Vinous.com
"The aromas of orange peel, citrus, fresh mushroom, bark, smoked meat and currants is fantastic. The palate is pure and focused with super-fine tannins and a long, long finish. Muscular and formed, yet agile, Takes the appellation to a new level. Partially aged in amphore. From organically grown grapes. Drink after 2025."
James Suckling, January 2022, JamesSuckling.com
"A svelte, seductive and seriously appealing 100% Merlot grown atypically on clay-dominant soils on one of the highest points of the Francs Côtes de Bordeaux. Wild strawberries, Morello cherries and subtle spices on the nose and palate, softly sweet, generous, round, plump, juicy and mouth filling, all harmoniously packaged and carefully balanced with freshness from start to finish. Complete and evocative with purity of expression. Seek it out."
