Château De Marbuzet

"Up until 1994, grapes from the vines that were less than twenty years old in the Cos d’Estournel vineyard were blended with those used to make Château Marbuzet, which constituted a sort of second wine for Cos d’Estournel. Château Marbuzet is now made from the seven hectares of vines that surround the Château and Cos d’Estournel’s second wine is made separately under the name Les Pagodes de Cos.

Château Marbuzet offers a delightful development of the full, robust rich style which characterizes Cos d’Estournel. Reaching its peak more quickly than Cos d’Estournel, it can be fully appreciated in the years following its bottling."
