The 2022 Clos du Marquis is gorgeous. Resonant and quite expressive, it possesses notable textural depth and plenty of presence but never feels heavy. Inky dark-toned fruit, spice, new leather and licorice all flow across the palate. The 2022 will be an absolute delight to drink over the next 10-15 years. 01/2025

The 2022 Clos du Marquis has held on to its generous, perfumed, floral bouquet that shades the preceding Le Petit Lion. This has plenty of black cherry, blackcurrant, cedar and pencil box aromas. It's opulent compared to its peers yet beautifully defined. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe tannins. It is seductive, with a satin-like texture and a poised, prolonged finish. This has stepped up a level during barrel maturation. It's wonderful. 01/2025

The 2022 Clos du Marquis is lovely, unwinding in the glass with notes of inky berries and cherries mingled with attractive floral nuances of rose petals and violets. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and suave, it's layered and concentrated, with a dense and lively core of fruit, beautiful purity and a long, penetrating finish. 03/2025

The 2022 Clos Du Marquis is rich, concentrated, and serious, with cassis, graphite, spring flowers, and chalky minerality developing with time in the glass. Full-bodied and incredibly pure on the palate, it has bright acidity, building tannins, and a great finish. This structured yet elegant Saint-Julien should evolve well for at least 2-3 decades if well stored. 02/2025

Couleur sombre, intense et pourpre. Nez moyennement aromatique, au fruité mûr et qui merlote. Tendre à l'attaque, suave en milieu de bouche, le vin glisse, caresse et finit long, sur un grain de tannin enrobé. Il m'a manqué un peu d'éclat. 02/2025

A scented, fresh and polished Clos du Marquis that shows tension. Medium- to full-bodied, this has blueberries and red berries with attractive minerality. A hint of pencil shavings as well. The tannins are fresh and really chalky and dissolved. 45.5% merlot, 44.5% cabernet sauvignon and 10% cabernet franc. Superb balance makes it pure, almost a bit ethereal and already inviting, but this should be approached after 2028. 01/2025
