Château HAUT-MARBUZET
Red
- 2018
- Saint-estèphe
Unquestionably the most popular vintage of the Médoc. Over the years, Haut-Marbuzet has been able to gain in finesse and balance by keeping its Merlot dominance and maturing in new oak barrels. Delicious !
The 2018 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2022): 95/100 “2018 is even more spectacular than 2017 with a more intense heart on the palate and still that lovely freshness on the finish.”
En Magnum (April 2021): 95/100 “Always this aromatic nobility for the cru that imposes the power of its terroir and great ripeness of the grapes. Suave, magnificent texture, on a par with the best crus classés. A great success.”

The 2021 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2025): 94/100 “True to form, Haut-Marbuzet has produced a charming 2021, a silky wine with a caressing texture and smooth tannins. The Merlot grapes give it the roundness and smoothness that have made it such a success”.
Vinous (N.Martin - November 2023): 91/100 “The 2021 Haut-Marbuzet has gained some exuberance since I tasted the barrel sample. Today it's very pure and quite seductive, with black cherry and blueberry fruit and hints of vanilla pod emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with fleshy, ripe fruit and a fine bead of acidity, but perhaps it just misses a little complexity on the finish. Otherwise, I have no complaints about this Haut-Marbuzet at all.”

The 2016 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N. Martin - January 2020): 90/100 "The 2016 Haut-Marbuzet has a straightforward bouquet of brambly red fruit, a little rustic in style but gaining finesse with a little toughness toward the finish."
