Medium to full-bodied, it's rich and fleshy, its broad attack segueing into an enveloping mid-palate framed by powdery, youthfully firm tannins, concluding with a nicely defined finish. It can't quite match the energy and elegance of 2019, but it's a terrific effort that could embarrass plenty of classified growths.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Wine Advocate 92+\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTucked between châteaux \u003c\/span\u003eCos d'Estournel\u003cspan\u003e and \u003c\/span\u003eMontrose\u003cspan\u003e, the vineyard covers 61 hectares and is planted with 50% \u003c\/span\u003eCabernet Sauvignon\u003cspan\u003e, 40% \u003c\/span\u003eMerlot\u003cspan\u003e, and 10% \u003c\/span\u003eCabernet Franc\u003cspan\u003e. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOverlooking the \u003c\/span\u003eGironde estuary\u003cspan\u003e, it is mainly located on the gravel ridge of Marbuzet and the plateau of Long Treytin. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe high proportion of merlot, rather unusual in traditional blendings, as well as a long \u003c\/span\u003ematuring\u003cspan\u003e in new oak barrels, greatly contribute to the mellowness of the wine. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOften described as exotic or opulent, Haut-Marbuzet wines develop a suppleness and an individual expressive character that are unusual in the normally austere style of Saint-Estèphe. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough its origins go back to the 18th century, the estate only emerged as a leading quality producer from 1952 after\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eHervé Duboscq\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eacquired it.\u003csup class=\"reference\" id=\"cite_ref-BDP_1-0\"\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, his son\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eHenri Duboscq\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis the winemaker and owner of Haut-Marbuzet, along with\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eChâteau Chambert-Marbuzet\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eChâteau Tour de Marbuzet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Château Haut Marbuzet","offers":[{"title":"Chateau Haut Marbuzet Saint Estephe","offer_id":50691389063401,"sku":"MOW-FR-BDX-HAUTMARB-2020","price":90.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0604\/7626\/0585\/files\/HautMarbuzet.png?v=1720498825","url":"https:\/\/www.enjoymowine.com\/products\/chateau-haut-marbuzet-saint-estephe-2020","provider":"MOWINE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
