"Dried flowers, incense, spice, espresso and black currants show in the nose. On the palate the wine is round, supple, creamy, polished and forward with a finish packed with black and red currants and chocolate. Drink from 2024-2045."

Located between châteaux Le Tertre and Monbrison, Marojallia was founded in 1999 when the plots of Roger Rex were sold to Philippe Porcheron, and developed by Muriel Thunevin, wife and partner of Jean-Luc Thunevin, the team behind Saint-Émilion's Château Valandraud. With Muriel Thunevin responsible for the 1999 and 2000 vintages, Porcheron has made the wine since 2001. Michel Rolland is retained as consultant oenologist.
The vineyard area extends 4 hectares (9.9 acres), with the grape varieties of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot.
A "microcuvée", the wine produced has been described as Médoc's first "garage wine". Composed of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon and 24% Merlot, "Chateau Marojallia" produces approximately 500 cases per year.
With a composition of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon and 36% Merlot, the second wine "Clos Margalaine" has a typical production of 1,000 cases.
