Elegant and precise, the 2012 Clos du Marquis opens with intense aromas of black cherries, cranberries and autumn leaves, framed by hints of cigar box and pencil shavings. Medium-bodied and finely detailed, the palate offers smooth, harmonious layers of dark red fruit, supported by supple tannins and fresh acidity. Floral notes and a touch of undergrowth add complexity to the pure, fruit-driven core. A beautifully crafted Saint-Julien with classic terroir expression, showing charm today but still structured for graceful aging over the next decade.

Critic reviews

Wine Adcovate, 92/100

Tasted blind at the Bordeaux 2012 Southwold tasting. The 2012 Clos du Marquis has a very intense bouquet, the more fruit-driven of all the Saint Julien 2012s with layers of black cherries and cranberry fruit, an undercurrent of autumn leaves and cigar box. The palate is medium-bodied with fine definition: smooth and very harmonious, quite intense on the entry and yet without that long sustain on the finish. That does not matter too much, because what comes before is very precise and pure, the class of the terroir evident from start to finish. (NM)

Decanter, 91/100

Dense colour, floral richness and density from 92% Cabernet Sauvignon fruit, very fine St-Julien.
