Château Haut-Marbuzet 2021 Saint-Estèphe Rouge, 0,75 L

Château Haut-Marbuzet stands as one of the most prestigious estates in the Saint-Estèphe appellation, renowned for producing powerful and long-lived red wines. Located in the northern Médoc, near the Gironde estuary, the region benefits from a unique terroir: gravelly soils that ensure excellent drainage and a maritime climate that promotes optimal ripening of the vines.

Under the stewardship of the Duboscq family, Château Haut-Marbuzet has earned an outstanding reputation. Their commitment to quality and generous use of new French oak barrels results in wines that blend the classic structure of the Médoc with a modern expression of richness and finesse.

The 2021 vintage displays a vibrant intense ruby red, a testament to its youthful vitality and energy. On the nose, it offers a captivating bouquet of blackcurrants, dark cherries, and a touch of tobacco, accented by roasted aromas and a delicate hint of cedar wood. Ageing in new oak barrels imparts additional layers of complexity and depth.

On the palate, the wine reveals its full potential: powerful yet refined tannins are seamlessly integrated with a lively acidity that provides freshness and balance. Flavours of dark berries, fine spice, and an elegant woody note come together in perfect harmony, leading to a long, intense finish that promises significant ageing potential.

A wine of great character, Château Haut-Marbuzet 2021 shines on special occasions and pairs beautifully with game dishes, roast beef, or intense cheese.
