Vinous

The 2015 La Petite Marquise is a new second wine from Clos du Marquis, the Delon family's sister estate in Saint-Julien. Rose petal, herb, plum, cherry jam and tobacco are all nicely delineated in this attractive, mid-weight offering. The high percentage of Merlot in the blend gives the 2015 much of its upfront appeal. This plump, juicy Saint-Julien will drink well with minimal cellaring.
