Blackberry and blackcurrant with some licorice and tar on the nose. It’s medium-to full-bodied with intense yet polished tannins and a long, beautiful finish. The quality of the tannins is an upgrade here.

Jane Anson - Decanter Magazine

Cassis, bilberry, chocolate, mocha and pepper. Good, austere, tight, mint leaf on the close of play. This has depth of expression, the fruit has been carefully extracted to minimise what are still pretty ferocious tannins. A yield of 30hl/ha. Tasted three times and was impressed each time. Important to note that Marquis de Terme is one of the few Left Bank estates that does a final adjustment to the blend before bottling, although typically changes are only made to the second wine so this is likely to be at least extremely close to what will go into the final bottle.

Winemakers Note

Marquis de Terme, a shining grand cru The origins of this wine date back to the 15th century, but its name will be given in 1762, by François de Peguilhan, Marquis de Terme. The Seneclauze family owns the property since 1935. In 2009, Ludovic David is appointed as General Manager of Château Marquis de Terme. This change is the starting point of a new area for this 40-hectare large estate, located in on Margaux's typical gravelly soils. Numerous innovations and a new dynamism are brought to enhance the exceptional terroir of the Marquis de Terme wines. The estate combines with excellence the rigour of work and ancestral know-how with creativity, lightness and open-mindedness. The estate's teams have at heart to create exceptional wines and to radiate the Marquis de Terme state of mind! 2021, a seductive vintage Ludovic David tells you the story of this vintage: https://bit.ly/MarquisdeTerme2021 This 2021 vintage reveals a deep and intense colour. The nose is complex with blackcurrant and blueberry notes. White pepper, cedar and menthol spicy notes complete the bouquet. The palate is charming and elegant with sweet fresh blackberries and cocoa flavours. A hint of liquorice adds complexity to the finish. The tannins are silky and delicate and the acidity reinforces the natural freshness. This is a charming and perfectly balanced vintage.
