Description
The creation of this brand allowed to produce a wine enjoying the best of these distinct terroirs. The situation remains unchanged today as the vineyard producing the Clos du Marquis is located on top terroirs of the Saint Julien appellation, the main part being surrounded by such prestigious Classified Growths as Léoville Poyferré and Léoville Barton.

The 1999 Clos du Marquis reveals sweet black currant fruit on the attack, but the finish is tannic and compresse. 4/2002 robertparker.com —Robert PARKER Jr.
