2019 Chateau Marjosse Anthologie de Marjosse 'Cuvee Hirondelle' Vin de France

Anthologie de Marjosse Cuvée Hirondelle 2019 from Château Marjosse is produced under the Vin de France appellation from 75-year-old vines rooted in clay-limestone soils. Made exclusively from muscadelle, this cuvée takes its name from the common trait shared by this grape variety and the swallow, namely its demanding nature and its fragility.

(91 Points) The 2019 Cuvée Hirondelle, a 100% Muscadelle, is showing well today, revealing aromas of ripe pear, mirabelle, fresh herbs, rose petal, peony and smoke, followed by a medium-bodied, fleshy and gourmand palate with a rich core of fruit and a delicate, persistent finish. This is an excellent rendition of this unusual grape in Bordeaux.  Drink Date: 2023 – 2028, The Wine Advocate
