Lovely deep colour, carefully and sappy extract action of tannins and fruit, well balanced, touch of grilled coffee on the very finish, austere without being biting, enjoyable and delivering estate signature. First year in new cellar with cement tanks, no new oak barrels for ageing, Anne-Laurence Chardronnier winemaker and owner. Drinking range: 2029 - 2040 Rating: 91 Jane Anson, www.janeanson.com (May 2025)

This year marked a turning point for Marsau: the arrival of the new winemaking facility, composed of small concrete vats. This tool is the result of several years of reflection, and it offers enhanced precision, contributing to an ever more authentic expression of place....
Marsau 2024 opens with a floral burst—peony, violet, those familiar signatures. On the palate, a pure vibration, controlled energy, with the tender expression of merlot we so deeply cherish. It is the taste of Marsau, again and always. The taste we pursue, vintage after vintage, with humility and fervour. (Anne Laurence Chadonnier).Winemaker's notes (May 2025)
Some solid concentration of fruit and medium velvety tannins follow through to a medium body. It's focused and bright with a long finish. Juicy at the end. Pure merlot. From organically grown grapes. Rating: 92-93 James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com (Apr 2025)
100 M Floral and violet aromas with some rose petal and red fruits. Appealing. Very well extracted with mid-weight tannins, fresh acidity and plenty of fruit weight to balance. This should provide lovely drinking in the mid term. Rating: 90 Rod Smith MW, www.timatkin.com (Apr 2025)
Château Marsau
Château Marsau is a well-known property in the small Bordeaux sub-region of the Côtes de Francs, but part of the property extends across the Départmental border into Dourdogne and is, thus, in AC Bergerac. This portion is the "Enclos de Bernerderie" and is planted with Cabernet Franc.
