The estate was purchased by the current owners, the Sioen family, in 1998. The 17 hectare (42 acre) property is one of the original 75 châteaux named in the inaugural 1955 classification of Saint-Emilion. It remained in the classification list in every subsequent iteration until 2006 when it was dropped. It was subsequently one of four similarly demoted estates to launch legal proceedings against the verdict and demanding reinstatement. Although the 2006 classification was eventually dropped, La Marzelle was eventually reinstated in the 2012 edition. The recorded history of the estate dates back to the 18th Century, when it was in the hands of the Largeteau family, who had acquired it from a religious order in the region. After a run of owners and several divisions of the property, the then 13-hectare (32-acre) estate was purchased by Belgian textile entrepreneurs Jacqueline and Jean-Jacques Sioen in 1998. In 2004, the Sioens purchased an additional four hectares (ten acres) of neighboring vineyard to bring the estate to its current size. The Sioens also oversaw extensive restoration and modernisation work in the vineyards and the cellars. The vineyard is predominantly planted to Merlot (70 percent) with 20 percent Cabernet Franc and 10 percent Cabernet Sauvignon. The wines for the titular wine (or \"grand vin\") are fermented in stainless steel tanks and 500-liter wooden barrels designed for fermentation (vinification intégrale) prior to being run to 225 liter French oak barriques, of which around 60 percent are new oak. The wine spends between 16 and 18 months in barrel blending and bottling. The estate produces roughly 50,000 bottles of the grand vin, Château La Marzelle and 20,000 bottles of the second wine, Château Prieuré La Marzelle. The estate also produces 300 cases of a Vin de France designated rosé, Rosé de la Marzelle, from 60 percent Merlot, 30 percent Cabernet Franc and ten percent Cabernet Sauvignon, as well as Elle de La Marzelle, a third wine released under the basic Saint-Emilion title, composed primarily of Merlot, with ten percent Cabernet Franc and five percent Cabernet Sauvignon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","published_at":"2024-05-16T14:52:33-04:00","created_at":"2024-05-16T14:49:54-04:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_France","Other_Wine","Producer_Château La Marzelle","Region_Bordeaux","RK150324","Source_VendorEmail0324","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Bordeaux Blend Red"],"price":9120000,"price_min":9120000,"price_max":9120000,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":44915318030474,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":null,"requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2108 | Château La Marzelle | Saint-Emilion Grand Cru","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":9120000,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/28_3146e86a-c37c-4441-8cdd-22e16859d6da.png?v=1715885397"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/28_3146e86a-c37c-4441-8cdd-22e16859d6da.png?v=1715885397","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"1998 | Château La Marzelle | Saint-Emilion Grand Cru at CaskCartel.com","id":27056148283530,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.285,"height":417,"width":119,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/28_3146e86a-c37c-4441-8cdd-22e16859d6da.png?v=1715885397"},"aspect_ratio":0.285,"height":417,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/28_3146e86a-c37c-4441-8cdd-22e16859d6da.png?v=1715885397","width":119}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 1998 | Château La Marzelle | Saint-Emilion Grand Cru\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt presents itself with great elegance and charm with precise aromas, imposing but very fine tannins and great length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrder from the Largest \u0026amp; Most Trusted Premium Spirits Marketplace! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatured in\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eROLLING STONE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMEN'S JOURNAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUS WEEKLY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTICE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Many other small liquor store sites may end up cancelling your order due to the high demand, unavailability or inaccurate inventory counts.  We have partnerships consisting of a large network of licensed retailers from within the United States, Europe and across the world ensuring orders are fulfilled.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer:\u003c\/b\u003e Château La Marzelle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVintage\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2018\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 750ml\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Bordeaux Blend Red\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\/Region:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e France, Bordeaux\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetailed Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt presents itself with great elegance and charm with precise aromas, imposing but very fine tannins and great length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eProducer Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChâteau La Marzelle is a Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé estate situated at the western end of the Saint-Emilion appellation, a few hundred meters due south of the famed Château Figeac property.
