Jamessuckling.com 93 / 100 par James Suckling le 13/01/2020 This is really delicious and already so drinkable with rich cherry and plum character, as well as stone and cement. Medium to full body, creamy and medium-round tannins and a long finish. Burst of red fruit with tile. Crunchy. Savory. 100% merlot. Drink or hold.
Vinifera 92 / 100 par Jacques Perrin le 28/05/2018 Nez sur des notes de fruits noirs avec un rappel de cacao. Corps sphérique, très pulpeux avec une texture consistante. Il se développe sur une très jolie assise tannique, au tanin grenu. La finale est expansive, délicieuse, sur des notes de cerise. Bravo !
The Wine Cellar Insider 89-91 / 100 par Jeff Leve le 11/05/2018 Flowers and sweet cassis with licorice and cocoa get this off to a going a good start. Fresh, forward, with salty tannins and round textures with bright red fruits in the finish. The estate lost 70% of their crop due to the frost.

Vinous 83-85 / 100 par Neal Martin le 01/05/2018 The 2017 Marsau, 14-hectares on clay soil, offers light brambly red fruit on the nose that lacks a little depth and concentration compared to other vintages. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, sharp on the entry with quite high acidity, leading to a straightforward, slightly austere finish.
Jancis Robinson 16 / 20 par Julia Harding MW le 25/04/2018 Deep cherry red. Fragrant with dark-red fruit and a touch of violets. Seems open and expressive already. Smooth and generous, full of juicy fruit but with firm structure, nicely built and balanced.Drink 2023-203016+
Anthocyanes 89-91 / par Yohan Castaing le 25/04/2018 Floral, violette, des notes de myrtille également. Beau jus, du velouté, des tanins enrobés pour un vin à la finale de beaux amers. Potentiel de garde de 4 à 5 ans. Un bel effort pour le millésime. Un coup de coeur.
Jamessuckling.com 92-93 / 100 par James Suckling le 06/04/2018 A very pretty and solid red with dark berries, chocolate and hints of spice. Lovely richness and intensity. Medium to full body and chewy tannins. Great length and drive at the end for this appellation and the vintage.
Wine Spectator 87-90 / 100 par James Molesworth le 04/04/2018 On the soft side, with gentle-edged damson plum and bitter cherry fruit inlaid with a light whiff of tobacco.—J.M.
