Clos du Marquis Saint Julien 2019 750ml
Product Description
Unleashes ripe plum, boysenberry, and blackberry flavors at the heart, with ample depth to soak up the tangy apple wood and smoky mesquite hints along its length, while a tight iron note propels the finale. Boasts zesty herbaceous and earthy tones that infuse vigor into the finish. Though a tad stern in terms of framework, that's just the way it is with this vintage. Made from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. Ideal starting from 2025.

Expert Reviews
The wine from a single vineyard within the Léoville Las Cases estate shows power with discretion. Its tannins and rich black currant fruits from Cabernet Sauvignon are solid, ripe and also stylish. That makes for a wine that will have balance between structure and fruit, concentration and openness. The wine is set for long aging.
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. Best after 2026.
Youthfully taut and well-structured, with singed apple wood and licorice root notes holding a core of red currant, dark plum and blackberry fruit in check for now. Reveals a nice racy graphite underpinning on the finish. One for the cellar. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc.
