2015 Chateau Marzy Pomerol

   Owned by several generations of the Maison family, this vineyard covers 10 hectares and is planted among the ancient limits of the Domaine des Templiers. A historic spot in the 12th century, with its history still written in the terroir, and recreated on today's label, which is emblazened with a Saint Jacques logo (scallops in its shell) as a lasting remembrance of the pilgrims who seeked refuge with the Hospitallers of Pomerol.

Château Marzy is one of the rare properties that is described as a "Château" on the official maps of the National Geographic Institute. Château Marzy is located on the great plateau of Pomerol, and due in no small part both to its excellent location, and the quality of its cellar equipment, it produces a wine of great class that, like all of Pomerol, marries both power and finesse. It's a wine that will improve with age.

Mostly merlot with just a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend this wine has a beautiful bouquet with lots of plum and notes of sweet tobacco spice with earthy hints and a touch of dark chocolate.  Rich and decadent on the tongue with lots of juicy plummy fruit, smooth tannins a nice richness to the palate wtih good freshness and balance through the long layered finish.  finish 40+    Excellent
