Château La Marzelle 2019
Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé
A vintage of know-how and common sense of the farmer and a year that was marked by contrasting
climatic episodes.
The winter was mild with above average temperatures, favoring an early bud burst.
At the beginning of June, the weather was relatively cool and wet, bringing with it a long and difficult
flowering with consequential shatter and millerandage. The teams at Chateau La Marzelle would,
painstakingly, stop in front of every vine-plant in order to select only the most qualitative bunches and
berries.
In the summer, there were heatwave conditions from July until September. Our biodynamic vine culture
permitted the vines to thrive remarkably under these particular circumstances.
The ripening of the grapes took place slowly. Under the influence of two stormy episodes in mid-September,
the maturity accelerated. The harvest commenced on the 24th of September and ended on the 7th of
October, 2019
Our state-of-the-art harvest reception system permitted us to undertake not only a parcel selection, but
a berry-by-berry selection. To vinify the small lots produced by this demanding sorting process, we use 20
barrels of 500 liters in micro-vinification as well as our stainless-steel vatting cellar that was fully renovated
in 2012 and is perfectly temperature controlled.
The premier wine is aged in new French oak barrels but also in terra cotta amphorae, in order to preserve
the fruit.
The first tastings lived up to our expectations offering a wine with a very intense color, a nose that begs a
tasting, an ample wine, creamy, thick, long, well-balanced. Once again, a lovely vintage crafted at the property.
