This lot comprises eleven bottles of 1989 vintage Clos du Marquis from the Saint-Julien appellation in Bordeaux.

Saint-Julien is an appellation in Médoc by the Gironde estuary, adjacent to Pauillac. The predominant grape variety here is Cabernet Sauvignon and the wines are powerful, complex and long-lived. The wines from the northern part of the appellation are comparable to those from Pauillac, while in the south the wines tend to be more elegant like those from Margaux. In the Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855 there are no premier cru wine estates in Saint-Julien, although the best grand crus of the region, including Château Ducru-Beaucaillou, would most likely be rated even higher today.

1989 was, like 1988 and 1990, a great vintage in Bordeaux. The continuously warm weather allowed an early harvest and the wines have a relatively high amount of tannins and alcohol. These wines usually taste wonderful now but may also develop further through proper cellar storage. This wine has now reached its peak and tastes significantly better than its classification as Quatrième Cru would suggest.

The 1989 vintage Clos du Marquis was last awarded 88 points by Robert Parker.

The fill levels are excellent (into neck). The labels and capsules are in perfect condition.
