Funny enough I am not sure how many know that Clos the Marquis is a second wine, it became known on its own merit and considered a solid chateau from Saint Julien. But it is the second wine of what is considered by many as a second grand Cru that need to move up to the first league- chateau Leoville las cases.
2006 was not a great vintage, but a classy one, which start to be ready for drinking, the wine has a deep red color, a very elegant nose and a charming sexy full body. Nose is full of black current, cedar wood, plum, coffee, chocolate and some herbs, body is full round and elegant with well intigrated tannins and lovely acidity. Finish is long luxurious and inviting a second glass. My score 90, Drink 2014-2022, perhaps longer

A wine with a distinctive nose delivering various after tones on the palate, needs to be decanted and aired for sometime to open up.

Drinking beautifully now, and for another couple of years - smooth, well-integrated, fruity on a subtle tannin background
