The 2007 Clos de la Maréchale is really a lovely wine that is now quite approachable
(like so many top examples from this vintage), but still has a bit of ripe tannin to resolve on the
backend and will be happiest resting comfortably in the cellar for another three or four years.
The bouquet is superb, delivering a complex aromatic constellation of red and black cherries,
nutskin, gamebirds, a superb base of soil tones, incipient notes of summer truffles and a dollop of
fresh thyme in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and quite soildriven
in personality, with a lovely core of fruit, bright acids, lovely focus and balance and a
long, moderately tannic and very refined finish. A lovely wine in the making, but give it a few
more years to fully blossom. 2017-2040. 92+
