Crisp and clean white with a medium body and bright acidity. A little reductive, with flinty notes alongside green apples, lemons, stones and seashells. Fresh.

The 2021 Marjosse Blanc is a blend of 45% Semillon, 35% Sauvignon Blanc, 15% Sauvignon Gris, and 5% Muscadelle. It soars from the glass with vivacious notes of green apples, lemon zest, and lime leaves, plus suggestions of crushed stones, coriander seed, and sea spray. The light-bodied palate is elegant and refreshing, with zippy citrus layers and a zesty finish.

Expressive nose, alive and abundant, shining out the glass. Good succulence here, tight and focused but so nuanced and detailed. Really delivering a punchy, precise glass of wine that doesn't swerve from the centre. This has such a gorgeous crispness but also chalkiness on the palate giving some dry tannins that settle and give structure and nuance. Shots of sour lemon give the high-toned with creamy apricot and peach nuances adding depth to the middle. Round and energetic.

The 2021 Marjosse Blanc is terrific. In 2021, the Blanc has a bit more texture than normal, and that works so well in playing off the natural energy that is such a signature here. Lemon confit, white flowers, lime and a touch of marzipan all grace this engaging dry white. The 2021 is showing beautifully, despite its recent bottling just a few months ago.

Flowers, bright yellow citrus, green apple and bright, grapefruit shine in the nose and on the creamy, bright, crisp palate. Drink this young for all of its fruit and freshness. Drink from 2023-2027
Winemaker Notes
Very beautiful pale golden color, clear and bright. The nose is very expressive and evokes citrus (grapefruit), white fruits (pear) and exotic (lychee and pineapple) with floral notes of boxwood, juniper, and laurel. Well balanced with a pleasant liveliness which extends long in a very tasty finish.
