Clos du Marquis, crafted by Domaines Delon, represents the epitome of Saint-Julien's style, offering structured and age-worthy wines that shows the estate's historic legacy and commitment to quality.
The 2017 vintage showcases the classic characteristics of the Left Bank, with a blend dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot and a touch of Cabernet Franc.
It's medium to full-bodied, with a firm tannic structure that provides backbone and aging potential. The fruit flavours are ripe and concentrated, balanced by vibrant acidity that adds freshness. There is a refined earthiness, with hints of leather and pencil shavings, leading to a long, polished finish with lingering dark fruit and mineral notes. Pair with rich, savoury dishes that complement its structure and depth.
Drinking window: 2023 - 2045
What the critics say:
"The grand vin is the 2017 Clos Du Marquis, which is 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, and a splash of Cabernet Franc. This stunning wine lends credence to the idea that Saint-Julien was the sweet spot for the Medoc in 2017. Classic Cabernet cassis and blue fruit notes as well as ample minerality, violets, and chocolate notes give way to a medium to full-bodied, beautifully polished Saint-Julien that has ripe tannin, terrific balance, and a great finish. It’s going to have 25+ years of prime drinking."
"Wonderful aromas of blackberries, flowers, violets and Indian spices. Medium to full body with extremely polished, tight tannins that interface well with the ripe fruit. Remains extremely long and focused. A blend of 72% cabernet sauvignon, 27% merlot and 1% cabernet franc. Better after 2023."
"Solid tannins come from the vineyard, giving this dense, concentrated wine with a powerful structure and blackberry fruits. The wine's future is assured, with richness, spice and fruitiness all coming together. Drink from 2023."
