Unquestionably the most popular vintage of the Médoc. Over the years, Haut-Marbuzet has been able to gain in finesse and balance by keeping its Merlot dominance and maturing in new oak barrels. Delicious !
The 2022 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N. Martin - January 2025): 93/100 "The 2022 Haut-Marbuzet has a refined, finely delineated bouquet with black cherry, bilberry, orange rind and light leathery scents that unfold in the glass. The palate is well balanced with pliant, saturated tannins. As I wrote in my primeur note, this is a less bold and concentrated Haut-Marbuzet. Instead, one finds more precision and terroir expression, especially on the creamy-textured and persistent finish. This is excellent."
J-M Quarin (February 2025): 94/100 "Black colour. Intense nose, with fresh, ripe fruit. Delicious on the palate, with a fine touch that caresses the palate and melts into subtle aromas and a fine grain of persistence. Very good and hard to spit out. The best recent vintage I know.Open young!"
