Clos Du Marquis° Saint-Julien, 2022

Clos du Marquis 2022 is a refined Saint-Julien from one of Bordeaux’s most respected names, offering the structure and precision that have made this appellation so admired. As a historic “second wine” style project linked to Léoville Las Cases, it is often seen as a benchmark for elegance, depth, and classic Left Bank character.

Tasting Notes
The wine typically shows a deep ruby to garnet colour in youth, with a polished, concentrated core. Aromas lean toward blackcurrant, cassis, plum, cedar, graphite, and subtle violet, with the 2022 vintage expected to bring impressive ripeness and freshness in balance. On the palate, Clos du Marquis is usually medium to full-bodied with fine-grained tannins, bright acidity, and a long, savory finish. Expect layered dark fruit, tobacco, spice, and mineral notes, with the structure to develop gracefully over time. It should reward cellaring for many years, gaining complexity and softness with age.

Production
Produced in Saint-Julien on Bordeaux’s Left Bank, the wine benefits from the region’s gravel-rich soils, which help drain excess water and encourage deep root development. The vineyards are typically harvested by hand, with careful selection to ensure only the best fruit is used, and vinification is carried out with a focus on preserving freshness, precision, and varietal character.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, game birds, and mushroom-based dishes. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if drinking young to help the wine open up and show its full aromatic range.

Producer
Clos du Marquis is closely associated with Château Léoville Las Cases, one of the most prestigious estates in Saint-Julien and the wider Médoc. While not a classified growth itself, it has earned a strong reputation for producing serious, age-worthy Bordeaux with a style that reflects the discipline and pedigree of its source estate. Its consistent quality has made it a respected name among Left Bank collectors and enthusiasts.
