Chateau Haut Marbuzet

Magnificently exposed facing the Gironde, chateau Haut-Marbuzet, as its name implies, is situated in Marbuzet, a hillside of long-standing renown for the quality of the wine it produces. Its vineyard is planted on a marvelous crest of Günz gravel over a clayey-limestone subsoil amply run through with veins of iron found in its reduced form. Aged in oak barrels renewed each vintage, chateau Haut-Marbuzet draws from these casks a perfumed unctuousness which attenuates the traditional virility of the wines of Saint-Estèphe. They are therefore charming as soon as they have been bottled, but given time to age, achieve the subtlety bestowed by the essence of the terroir.
