"The Petrus of the Côtes de Francs" – Robert Parker

Just a few kilometres east of Saint Emilion, in the historical village of Francs, the Chateau MARSAU vines command one of the highest reaches of the Côtes de Bordeaux-Francs appellation. The vines are rigorously selected for their suitability to the terroir and their ability to cope with restricted yields, which promote even grape ripening in optimum growing conditions.

At Marsau, winemaking techniques are applied selectively, tailored to each individual vineyard block and take into consideration the specific nature of the vintage. The objective is to harness the natural concentration of the fruit, and in so doing, reveal the most expressive and distinctive character of the
terroir and grape variety. The wines are aged in French oak barrels in separate batches, to retain the individual identity of each parcel.
