"Along with Bahans-Haut-Brion and Forts de Latour, Clos du Marquis is one of Bordeaux's three finest second wines. The 1994 appears to be another noteworthy effort. It exhibits much of the same character as Leoville Las-Cases, but it is not as concentrated or as potentially long-lived. The saturated dark ruby/purple color is followed by a sweet, jammy nose of herbs and blackcurrants, medium body, excellent ripeness, and a multi-layered, fleshy finish that delivers considerable fruit buttressed by moderate tannin."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
The world's largest fine-wine region, built around blends of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Divided by the Gironde estuary into the structured Left Bank and the plush, Merlot-led Right Bank, it is the historic benchmark for age-worthy claret and sweet Sauternes.
