Château Haut Marbuzet St Estephe Wine

Under the impulse of the Duboscq family, the Château Haut Marbuzet estate now covers 76 hectares not far from Cos d'Estournel and Montrose. Unlike its prestigious neighbors, the price policy of the Duboscq Family has always been reasonable and the price / pleasure ratio of this Saint Estèphe is truly impressive. The classification of Haut-Marbuzet exceptional Cru Bourgeois in 2003 is the illustration. In the 1970s, Haut Marbuzet was among the first to use 100% new barrels, emphasizing the importance of the choice of the origin of the wood. We had the opportunity to taste a vintage of High Marbuzet raised simultaneously in 3 different types of wood; a Hungarian oak, an American oak and a French oak from the center. The flagrant difference and demonstrates the major role of the provenance of the wood in the final result.

The dismantling of Mac Carthy in the 19th century is at the origin of the creation over time of Haut Marbuzet. Mc Carthy is the name of a castle, but the Mc Carthy brand is now used by the Duboscq family for its young vine wines; It is in a way the Second of High Marbuzet.
