Cabernet Sauvignon 70% and Merlot 30%
Marojallia is one of the newer estates in the Medoc as it only dates back to 1998 when the vineyard was purchased by Philippe Porcheron from Roger Rex. At the time of the sale, the vineyard was under a leasing agreement with another grower. The vines were previously used for Chateau Durfort-Vivens. Before that, the vineyard was previously owned by the Ginestet family. However, the name of the property is well-rooted in the history of the Bordeaux region.
The 2016 Château Marojallia is a brilliant raised all in new French oak. A thrilling bouquet of crème de cassis, high-class smoke tobacco, and a distinct minerality leads to a full-bodied, concentrated Margaux that has a great mid-palate, notable purity of fruit, and building tannins.
