88-90 VM
The 2021 La Petite Marquise du Clos du Marquis contains 34% pressed wine this year, one of the highest amounts ever, and was raised in one 120-hectoliter vat, so there is no new oak here. It has a juicy bouquet courtesy of the Merlot, which imparts raspberry preserve and cranberry scents, all quite lush and forward despite a bit of reduction at the moment. There is a touch of glycerine with time. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, plenty of graphite-infused black fruit and a rather tight finish that suggests it will benefit from a couple of years in bottle. - Neal Martin, Vinous Media
