2025 Château Marjosse Blanc Magnum

A FIRST - EXPECTED END OF MARCH 2026

Winery Château Marjosse

Château Marjosse, located in Entre-deux-Mers, is led by Pierre Lurton, one of Bordeaux's most experienced winemakers and a well-known figure in the Bordeaux region. With experience as manager of Château Cheval Blanc and CEO of Château d'Yquem, he has a proven track record in Bordeaux. The estate functions as a kind of laboratory where plots and grape varieties are individually monitored and vinified. Marjosse's style focuses on purity, precision, and the production of accessible yet substantial wines, with a particular focus on white Bordeaux.

Region, climate and location

Marjosse's vineyards are located on clay-limestone soils in Entre-deux-Mers. The 2025 vintage was characterized by exceptionally dry conditions and low yields. A mild winter and early budding were followed by a warm and dry growing season with relatively cool nights. This combination resulted in concentrated grapes that retain freshness and aromatic precision.

Vineyards

The vineyards cover approximately 11 hectares and are managed plot by plot. The average age of the vines is around 25 years, with some very old plots up to 75 years old. Due to the low yield in 2025, only 29 hectoliters per hectare, the concentration in the fruit is remarkably high.

Grape varieties and composition

The 2025 blend consists primarily of Sémillon, supplemented with Sauvignon Blanc and Sauvignon Gris. The high proportion of Sémillon gives the wine breadth, structure, and depth, while the Sauvignon varietals provide aromatic freshness, tension, and precision.

Harvest, vinification and maturation

The harvest took place from August 23rd to September 2nd and was carried out entirely by plot to ensure each grape was picked at its peak ripeness. The grapes were primarily harvested in the morning to minimize oxidation. After direct pressing, the juices were protected with inert gases and stored cold on the lees for several days to enhance aromatic complexity. Fermentation took place at a low temperature. After fermentation, the wine was aged for four months on the fine lees in concrete tanks, with regular bâtonnage. Part of the blend was aged in oak to add complexity and balance.

Color, smell and taste

The wine has a bright, pale yellow color with greenish reflections. The nose is intense and precise, with aromas of yellow and white fruits, citrus, and refined floral notes. As the wine opens, subtle spicy notes emerge. On the palate, the structure is broad and layered, with a distinct density supported by fresh acidity. The tension remains beautifully, giving the wine energy and length. The finish is long, slightly salty, and supported by a fine, refreshing bitter note that adds depth.

Development and drinking window

Château Marjosse Blanc 2025 is already appealing for its aromatic expression and freshness, yet it possesses sufficient structure to develop further. The drinking window is expected to be between 2025 and approximately 2032, with the wine developing additional complexity after a few years of bottle aging.

This is a 1.5 litre magnum – even tastier, more festive and with a longer drinking window.
