Château Haut-Marbuzet is an emblematic estate of the Saint-Estèphe appellation, run by the Duboscq family since 1952. Classified as Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel, this 75-hectare Bordeaux property stands out for its unique style — opulent, silky, marked by ageing in 100% new oak barrels — and an unusually high proportion of Merlot for the Left Bank. Recognised as one of Saint-Estèphe's finest estates, Haut-Marbuzet combines youthful approachability with remarkable ageing potential.

L'histoire du domaine

While the origins of Château Haut-Marbuzet date back to the 18th century — when the hamlet of Marbuzet belonged to Nicolas-Alexandre de Ségur, the famous "prince of the vines" — the modern history of the estate truly begins in 1952. That year, Hervé Duboscq, a wine merchant of Gascon origin with no agricultural training, acquired seven hectares of fragmented vineyards on a life annuity basis, resulting from the dismemberment of the Mac-Carthy family lands in 1848. Driven by visionary intuition, he patiently undertook to reconstitute the scattered vineyard, buying back parcel after parcel to restore Haut-Marbuzet to its original coherence. In 1962, his son Henri joined him, bringing his viticultural and winemaking knowledge: together, father and son would raise Haut-Marbuzet to the ranks of the finest estates in Saint-Estèphe. A new winery combining modernity and respect for tradition was built in 2017, marking a further milestone in the estate's evolution.

Le terroir

The Haut-Marbuzet vineyard, covering 75 hectares, extends across the Marbuzet plateau between the prestigious châteaux Cos d'Estournel and Montrose, enjoying ideal exposure overlooking the Gironde estuary. The terroir rests on a ridge of Günzian gravel typical of the Médoc, sitting on a clay-limestone subsoil — the oldest Merlot parcels are even planted on rare blue clay soils, which impart distinctive minerality and tannic structure to the wine. The grape variety — 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc — reveals an unusually high proportion of Merlot for the Left Bank, accounting for the estate's characteristic roundness. The vines, with an average age of thirty years, are planted at high density (9,000 vines per hectare) and cultivated using sustainable farming practices without chemical herbicides. The proximity of the estuary creates a microclimate that balances heat and humidity, promoting optimal grape ripening.

Les vins

The Château Haut-Marbuzet range comprises two wines: the grand vin and the second wine Château MacCarthy, which bears the name of the former owning family. The estate's style, immediately recognisable, stands out in the often austere landscape of Saint-Estèphe through its opulence, silky texture and warm character. Since the 1980s, Henri Duboscq has forged the estate's signature by systematically using 100% new oak for ageing of 15 to 18 months, imparting a perfumed smoothness that softens the appellation's natural tannic structure. Manual harvests carried out at advanced ripeness, and vinification with indigenous yeasts, give rise to powerful yet approachable wines from their youth, developing superb spicy notes and red fruit, then gaining complexity and finesse after a decade of ageing. With time, the old Merlot vines on blue clay reveal magnificent truffle notes reminiscent of the great Pomerols.

Le vigneron

Since 1962, Henri Duboscq has embodied the soul of Château Haut-Marbuzet — a leading figure in the Médoc, with a warm and generous personality, often described as a "voluble, exuberant and affectionate Gascon" who built his reputation as much on the quality of his wines as on his legendary hospitality. A pioneer of wine tourism from the 1980s onwards, he was one of the first Bordeaux winemakers to open his château doors directly to enthusiasts, building a community of devotees found nowhere else in Bordeaux — 25,000 customers including 10,000 loyal followers, from the French Presidency to the European Parliament. At his side today, his two sons Bruno and Hugues Duboscq continue this family adventure with the same rigour and warmth, passing on in turn this unique expertise and vision that makes Haut-Marbuzet a wine apart, capable of rivalling the Grands Crus Classés.

Our selection was built with patience, high standards and passion by Hugues, our founder.
Our logistical expertise ranges from optimal storage to professional and careful delivery of wines.
