Chateau Marquis de Terme Description
Dark ruby. Complex, dense and expressive bouquet, with notes of
blackcurrant, blackberry and a hint of pepper. Delicious and creamy attack accompanied by notes of blackcurrant, cocoa and a hint of clove to add spice. The tannins are dense, powerful and enveloping. This happy balance gives the wine a very silky, delicate side, with great freshness.
James Suckling: 94 Points
This is a solid Margaux with blackberries, blackcurrants and undertones of fresh tobacco and a wet earth. It’s full and layered with beautiful energy and structure. Tight at the end, as it should be. Try after 2025.
Vinous: 94 Points
The 2019 Marquis de Terme was the best vintage that I had tasted in a number of years - this showing suggests that it has improved even further in the last 12 months. It has a clean and precise bouquet with perfumed blackberry, bilberry and crushed stone aromas, the oak neatly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, finely-sculpted tannins, very fresh and vibrant with real precision and tension on the finish. Classy. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting.
Wine Spectator: 91 Points
Features cherry and black currant puree notes with some inner freshness, while black tea, alder and violet hints form a pretty backdrop. Nice steady finish, too. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Drink now.
Wine Advocate: 90 Points
Aromas of rich black fruits, cherry preserve and pencil shavings introduce the 2019 Marquis de Terme, a medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy wine with a broad attack that segues into an ample mid-palate framed by ripe but youthfully assertive tannins. This is a muscular, rather chunky Margaux that will reward a bit of bottle age and which, with time, may make my score seem conservative. This is an evolving estate, as fully 25% of its vineyards have been replanted since 2009. Cabernet on rich soils between Labégorce and Château Margaux represents the core of the blend.
