Reviews — Bordeaux Wine

Château Marjosse is the personal estate of Pierre Lurton and one of Bordeaux’s most persuasive reminders that value and quality are not mutually exclusive. With the 2019 white and 2022 red now on Symbolic Wines at around $20, these are the kind of bottles that make collectors stop and pay attention: properly made, critically respected, and priced far below what their pedigrees suggest. Château Marjosse is also the kind of wine that makes perfect sense for weddings, parties and other celebrations, because it delivers real quality without the usual fine-wine price burden.

We are opening a new En Primeur offer on a Pauillac that many collectors quietly rely on for classic Cabernet structure and long aging: Château Grand‑Puy‑Lacoste 2025, 5ème Grand Cru Classé. This year it comes in a special, fully black, screen‑printed bottle – an engraved look that makes it a natural “black pearl” in any serious Bordeaux collection.

Our latest 2025 En Primeur allocation brings in both faces of Château Cos d’Estournel—its majestic Saint‑Estèphe Grand Vin and the ultra‑limited Cos d’Estournel Blanc—wines that critics are already placing at the very top of this thrilling Left Bank vintage.

For collectors and long-term drinkers, Bordeaux 2018 and 2019 stand out as vintages that combine ripe fruit, firm structure, and enough freshness to age gracefully for decades. These are the kinds of wines that reward patience, whether the goal is cellaring, vertical collecting, or building a portfolio of bottles with future depth and market interest.
