A lovely blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot and 7% Cabernet Franc. A classic Saint-Julien expression, the Clos du Marquis is powerful and elegant. The ripe fruit and the finesse of the grapes are confirmed on the palate with volume and precision. A superb wine sold in approachable half bottle format.

The 2019 Clos du Marquis is another cuvée from the Delon family that’s smaller than usual this year, as fully 20% of the vineyards that inform this bottling are in various stages of replanting, with the objective of bringing the percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon vines up to more than 70%. Exhibiting aromas of inky cassis, plums, incense, wood smoke and spices, it’s medium to full-bodied, fleshy and concentrated, with lively acids, beautifully powdery tannins and a supple, more immediately charming profile than its big sibling across the street, Léoville-Las Cases. - William Kelley

The 2019 Clos du Marquis needs a little more precision on the nose, dark berry fruit, cedar, touches of sage and crushed iris petals. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, quite pliant tannins. Gentle grip, but there is certainly structure evident here with quite a tannic finish. This will need time in the cellar. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting. Neal Martin1st February 2023
