Château La Marzelle is a vineyard estate located in Saint-Émilion Grand Cru, France. The estate was founded in 1756 by the married couple Etienne and Antoinette Crasse, who settled in their home and began working on their vines. With nearly 200 hectares of vineyards scattered across four communes, Château La Marzelle has been producing wines of exceptional quality for 250 years. The vines are predominantly cultivated on southwest-facing slopes with regularly maintained spacing between them to ensure the optimal ripening of the grapes. The estate's unique terroir allows for a variety of grape types, such as Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, and Carmenère, and contributes to the wines’ exceptional aromas. The vines are also enriched by the limestone subsoil that favors the extraction of flavors in the wines. The estate is committed to producing rich and deep wines, with a fine and balanced structure, which are the product of respecting ancestral cultivation and winemaking methods. The wines are carefully selected and matured in French oak barrels, to give them their rich and complex flavor. Château La Marzelle's wines feature notes of red fruit and floral aromas, such as blackcurrant, raspberry, acacia flower, as well as powerful and balanced tannins, which are preserved through maturation in barrels. The quality of the wines produced by Château La Marzelle, as well as the passion and dedication of its team, honor its centuries-old history and solidify its place among the greatest French wine estates.

The very famous Château Cheval Blanc, for example, uses 60% Cabernet Franc.

When blended with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, it brings complexity and a bouquet of aromas to the wine. It produces fruity wines that can be drunk quite quickly, but whose great vintages can be kept for a long time.
