Inseparable from the personality of its charismatic owner, Hervé Duboscq, Château Haut-Marbuzet holds an enviable position in Bordeaux’s wine scene. This elite estate is hot on the heels of the region's most prestigious labels, with its unique style earning it exceptional renown and respect.

Located in Saint-Estèphe, near Cos d’Estournel, it has always been ahead of its time—pioneering the use of new oak barrels and breathing new life into traditional Médoc wines with seductive, opulent, and slightly exuberant expressions, far removed from the sometimes austere structures typical of the appellation. This bold approach, carried out with taste and intelligence, has made it a cult wine!
