Marsau - Francs-Côtes de Bordeaux 2016

Sur la rive droite, le millésime 2016 fut tout particulièrement favorable aux terroirs d'argiles.

Dans ce contexte particulier, Château Marsau, avec ses 12 hectares d'argiles profondes plantés exclusivement en merlot, produit en 2016 le meilleur millésime de son histoire.

Une vinification patiente, privilégiant des extractions très douces, a permis d'obtenir un vin au fruit lumineux, aux tanins soyeux et suaves, alliant fraicheur et structure, gourmandise et potentiel de garde.

C'est un vin très complet, qui incarne à la perfection ces nouveaux Bordeaux, issus d'appellations qui sortent des sentiers battus, et proposent au consommateur une approche plus neuve.

Marsau est une exclusivité de CVBG.

The 2016 Marsau is 100% Merlot. Medium to deep garnet in color, it has a powerful nose of plum preserves, baked blackberries, and licorice with nuances of violets, black olives, and garrigue. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is concentrated, featuring ripe, rounded tannins and plenty of freshness to support the generous fruit, finishing on a lingering blueberry note.

Very solid, offering a core of steeped black currant and blackberry confiture notes liberally lined with anise edges and backed by a racy, chalky spine for balance. Approachable, but a few years of cellaring will work too. Best from 2021 through 2027. 5,833 cases made. –JM

There’s a very bright and ripe array of dark berries and plums with an earthy edge, as well as nuances of sweetly fragrant black truffle. The palate has a very supple and fluid core of ripe dark plums with a very sleek, polished and compressed bed of tannins. Great depth and drive here through the finish. Mouthwatering, pure merlot. Try from 2023.

C’est une très belle réussite pour la propriété ! De la profondeur au nez, sur des notes de fruits mûrs avec une note épicée. Au palais, il affiche une belle présence et une forme précise, sphérique, structurée par un tanin fin et fruité. La finale, d’une belle persistance, n’est pas en reste et, à l’instar d’autres belles réussites dans la région, ce vin marque un tournant dans l’histoire de la propriété. Priorité d’achat pour les amateurs d’excellence, y compris en terme de rapport prix/plaisir !

The 2016 Marsau, which is pure Merlot picked 7-15 October, undergoes a soft extraction and now tends to be blended earlier during the élevage. It has a lovely nose of brambly black fruit, lively and well defined with a pastille-like purity, a second bottle showing a touch of camphor. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, tightly wound blackberry and raspberry fruit with a light, slightly linear finish. I probably like the 2015 better last year but it is still a well made Francs Côtes de Bordeaux that belongs to the Chadronnier family, owners of Bordeaux merchant CVBG.

The 2016 Marsau packs a serious punch. Firm and muscular in its first impression, the 2016 offers notable intensity in its dark fruit. There is an element of austerity in the tannin that needs to soften. Otherwise, this is a solid showing.

Chardonnier family with Mathieu's wife taking special responsibility. Michel Rolland consults. 100% Merlot. Very dark crimson. Very fresh and quite dry and austere on the end. Not luscious! A bit tough and hard work. For masochists?

Barrel Sample. This wine is richly spicy and refreshingly juicy. Fine tannins give the wine its structure while leaving the beautiful fruit right up front. This will be ready from 2025.

This sports a fleshy feel, with warm plum and cassis notes supported by a fresh chalky spine. Shows good energy through the finish. Sneakily long.—J.M.

This is a rich and dense Marsau and probably the best ever. Full body and a wonderful depth of fruit and chocolate. Love the texture and intensity. Shows sophistication.

par Jane Anson le 03/04/2017

This is an extremely reliable Côtes wine from owner Mathieu Chardronnier that absolutely deserves to be recognised for its succulent fruit and restrained but confident extraction and balance. This is very good, emphasising what 2016 does so well with the reds. It is juicy and powerful but not excessive, making it an utterly drinkable wine. 89-90 points.
