DESCRIPTION / TASTING NOTE
This excellent little property in the obscure Côtes de Francs is producing delicious wines. Chateau Marsau has been heralded by Robert Parker as "The Petrus of the Côtes de Francs". Lying at the top of a hill, north-east of the village of Francs, the vineyards benefit from an excellent microclimate, with exceptional sunshine hours. The soils are predominantly clay which suits the Merlot grape variety, with which 85% of the vineyards are planted, very well. The character of the wines is classic right-bank with soft, round, elegant fruit and fabulous balance.
