Origin and background
Located on a terroir of fine gravel typical of the Pessac-Léognan appellation, Clos Marsalette benefits from meticulous viticulture and precise vinification, underpinned by the expertise of the von Neipperg family. The 2018 vintage, which was marked by a hot, dry summer, produced excellent concentration and a brilliant expression of aromas, giving rise to a dense, structured and elegant wine.
Tasting
Colour: Deep red with garnet highlights.
Nose: Elegant and intense. Aromas of ripe red fruit (cherry, raspberry) and plum, combined with floral (violet), spicy (sweet pepper, liquorice) and slightly smoky notes.
Palate: Supple attack, silky texture and fine tannins. The whole is harmonious, sustained by a fine freshness. The wine evolves with precision, revealing a persistent finish, at once fruity, spicy and finely woody.
