Winemaker Notes
Beautiful and brilliant light straw color. Very complex aromas that include citrus (grapefruit and lemon), mango, pineapple, pear and white peach. In the palette Marjosse is at once fresh and surprisingly fat and lengthy.
Château Marjosse blanc 2022 is, as usual, a blend of sauvignon blanc (44%), sauvignon gris (20%), sémillon (32%) and muscadelle (4%). This year, for the first time, each kind of grape was harvested and vinified separately in order to have even greater control over the final blend, using only the finest lots. Grapes were harvested at night or during the early morning to take advantage of the cooler temperatures, control oxidation and preserve maximum freshness and complexity of aromas.
Once at the cellar the grapes were pressed immediately and the juice protected from oxidation by a blanket of carbon dioxide vapor.The must rested in cool cement vats with its sediments for days before starting to ferment. For one to two weeks a slow fermentation took place, gently bringing out the full aromatic palette. After that the wine stays in cement vats on the lees which are stirred twice a week.
