Marojallia
Chateau Marojallia is named after the Roman term for the Margaux region. This boutique left bank estate is part of the new wave of micro-cuvee winemakers. Philippe Porcheron’s debut vintage was in 1999 with Michel Rolland as consultant oenologist since 2000. This wine shows real ageing promise.

Saturated purple ruby. Aromas of blackberry, bitter chocolate, mocha and espresso, with a minty nuance. Then lush, pliant and deep, with lovely sweetness and density. Finishes with big, palate-coating, ripe tannins and strong fruit. This wine has been a moving target in its three vintages, as the 1999 was 80% cabernet sauvignon, the 2000 70% merlot and this 2001 roughly a 50/50 blend of the two varieties.Inc. GSTSG$1,730.88 -

Another brilliant example from Murielle Andraud and her partner Jean-Luc Thunevin, the intense 2012 Marojallia (a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot) displays an opaque purple color and a beautiful nose of charcoal, graphite, blueberry and blackberry fruit. Some toasty oak is present, but the sweetness of the tannins, the multi-dimensional mouthfeel, and terrific length and intensity make this one of the great stars of 2012. Drink it over the next 20 years.Inc. GSTSG$1,337.34 -
