Clos Du Marquis 2013 (1x75cl)

Clos du Marquis comes from Saint-Julien and is usually built around Cabernet Sauvignon, in a style that favours elegance over power. 2013 was a cooler Bordeaux vintage, so expect a lighter-framed, more classic left-bank profile.

A good match for a roast chicken or lamb dinner, or a thoughtful gift for a Bordeaux drinker who prefers finesse over weight.

Tasting notes

Saint-Julien reds from a cooler year like this typically show red currant and cedar notes with fine, moderate tannins rather than heavy grip.
