"A new acquisition by proprietor Jonathan Maltus, who sold Grand Destieu in order to upgrade to this terroir, this 10-acre vineyard is planted with 65% Merlot and 35% Cabernet Franc. It is situated near several of the premier grand cru classes of St.-Émilion, including both Beausejours and Angelus."
Robert M. Parker, Jr.
Vieux Château Mazerat is surrounded by Château Canon on three sides and by Château Angelus on the west; stuck in the middle of ‘Cru Classé’ territory and it faces Château Beausejour Duffau Lagarosse.
The vineyard is a mixture of very old Cabernet Franc vines and Merlot on clay over limestone.

What the critics say:
"The 2021 Vieux Château Mazerat is a sleek, racy wine. Dark cherry, plum, mocha, licorice, spice and espresso all meld together effortlessly. A wine with no hard edges and terrific balance, Vieux Château Mazerat is seriously impressive in this tasting. "
"The 2021 Vieux Château Mazerat comes from vines around the new château, just beside Angélus, and is based on 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. It brings good richness and depth on the palate, with spicy, chocolate, and subtle oak as well as red and black fruits. It's beautifully done and is going to have 15+ years of prime drinking."
