Classic blend of 45% Semillon, 35% Sauvignon-Blanc, 15% Sauvignon Gris & 5% Muscadelle
"The 2020 Marjosse Blanc comes skipping out of the glass with vibrant notes of lime leaves, grapefruit oil and crushed rocks, giving way to emerging notions of green apples, dillseed and fresh hay. The medium-bodied palate delivers a great intensity of herbs-laced citrus flavors, supported by a racy backbone and finishing long and chalky."
- Robert Parker's - The Wine Advocate
"A blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Sauvignon Gris, Muscadelle and Semillon. Typically aromatic nose, herbal and grassy with tropical and citrus elements. Succulent, softly mouthwatering with a weight and density from the oak ageing that also gives a slightly spiced edge to the peach, pear, nectarine and apricot fruit. Fresh and full-bodied, structured and complex. HVE3 certified."

Built in 1782, Château Marjosse is a property located in Entre-deux-Mers on the right bank of Bordeaux. Château Marjosse was purchased in 1997 by French 'wine royalty', Pierre Lurton - president of two of Bordeaux’s best-known châteaux; Château Cheval Blanc and Château d’Yquem.
Although located in Entre-deux-Mers, its terroir closely resembles that of Saint-Emilion, as Pierre Lurton explains it:”a fairly rare thing in Entre-Deux-Mers, the limestone at Astéries, the same one that has made the reputation of the wines of Saint-Emilion, comes to the outcrop here”. The estate is composed of young and old vines, some of which are centenarians. Nearly 50 hectares are planted with red grape varieties, native and typical of local The rest is planted with sauvignon-blanc/ (around 50%), semillon and a little muscadelle, to produce an Entre-Deux-Mers white wine.
