The 2022 Marjosse is a bright, nervy red. Floral notes, orange peel, mint and white pepper lend notable energy throughout. Readers will find an atypically vibrant wine for the year. More than anything else, the 2022 represents a pretty significant shift for Marjosse toward a style that focuses on greater freshness than in the past. (AG)

Located in the north of the Entre-deux- Mers, with highly reputed owner Pierre Lurton, Marjosse produces some of the best-value wines in Bordeaux. The 2022 is a Merlot-based blend with support from Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec. Blue fruit, bell pepper and a touch of spice on the nose. A generous palate with well-managed tannins and darker, more brooding black fruit and violets appearing on the finish. (JC)
