Located between the Grands Crus Classés Montrose and Cos d'Estournel, in the hamlet of Marbuzet, lies Château Haut-Marbuzet. An exceptional Château which has acquired worldwide popularity thanks to the relentless efforts of the Duboscq family who, through sheer will and energy, have transformed the wines of Bordeaux. Their property is now one of Bordeaux’s finest and sought-after by wine lovers from around the world. 

Château Tour de Marbuzet is located in the heart of this state-of-the-art estate of only 5 hectares. It is managed by the same technical teams and pampered by the same owner as Haut-Marbuzet. Their blends of merlot and cabernet-sauvignon are full-bodied, with beautiful aromas and hints of oak which foreshadow an even better quality after some years of aging.
