2018 vintage. This was still made under the CA ( Crédit Agricole) ownership. In 2019 the estate, together with La Tour de Mons, was sold to Nathalie Perrodo, who is doing a great job at Labégorce and Marquis d'Alesme. There seems to be historical evidence that the wines of (what was later called) Marsac Séguineau were considered fifth growth quality pre 1855, but it wasn't classified because of the very small production and the fragmentation of the vineyards. The Château was only constructed in 1886. Bordeaux is a fascinating region, not only for wine aficionados, but also for history lovers. In any case, this is already a delicious wine, exhibiting the famous Margaux elegance, without lacking power. Very good value too. I hope to find some recent vintages soon, as I expect the wines to progress under the new ownership. Abv. 14%.

Initially the nose is full of fruit, but within 30 minutes it gains depth with some cigar box and a touch of smoke.. The palate is creamy and velvety with sweet cherry and licorice. Surprisingly 65% merlot from Margeaux. This is really enjoyable for $30.

Hues of dark crimson and ruby. Decant for at least 45 minutes to ensure a rich and velvety finish. Bright bouquet of sweet cherries, plum and vanilla. A great value at $25.

A chalky austerity eventually gives way to red fruits, tobacco, and earth. Demands food.
