Chateau Tour de Marbuzet Saint-Estephe 1964

Château Tour de Marbuzet 1964 is a great red wine from Saint-Estèphe whose vineyard, like Château Haut-Marbuzet, is managed by Henri Duboscq. On this small plot of 5 hectares of gravel set on a clay-limestone subsoil, the wines are just as pampered as those of Haut-Marbuzet with manual harvesting, a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon and traditional ageing in wood, and are suitable for long ageing.

1964 was a great vintage in Bordeaux, but with very different results depending on the date of the harvest and the appellations. The hot and dry summer smiled on the Merlot grape variety, an early grape variety whose harvest generally went very well, giving concentrated and powerful wines in Pomerol and Saint-Emilion, in the Graves and the Médoc wines with a high proportion of Merlot such as Saint-Estèphe for example. On the other hand, the very rainy beginning of October penalised the Cabernet Sauvignon harvested later, which gave very contrasting results in the Médoc, with low harvests.

Find the wines of Château Tour de Marbuzet and Château-Marbuzet currently on sale at La Bouteille Dorée, with several old vintages available.
