TASTING NOTES
93pts - Vinous
"The 2020 Marquis de Terme is one of the best offerings from this Margaux estate in recent years. It has a lively and well-defined bouquet with blackcurrant, wild strawberry and pencil box scents, perhaps a little Pauillac in style. The palate is medium-bodied with grip and backbone, well balanced and poised, I appreciate the salinity of this Marquis de Terme and the manner in which it discretely persists on the finish. Classy."

"Roses and patchouli aromas on the nose. Svelte and charming on the palate, sumptuous but restrained and delicate. Excellent sculpting and persistence with real floraity and herbal-touched cool blue fruits. It’s not massively weighty, more linear and focused but with style to it. Pretty, seductive and alive, all in the best way with a juicy core. An excellent effort this year and a wine that will be approachable soon but will age too. Sleek, refined, cool and classic."
94pts - James Suckling
"This has aromas of graphite, blackcurrants, blackberries, walnuts and mint chocolate. It’s focused and full-bodied with a frame of polished, firm tannins. All wonderfully integrated and persistent. Firm and fine. Try after 2025."

"The flagship 2020 Château Marquis De Terme clearly a step up and is based on 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot. Aged all in once-used oak for 16 months, it has a pure bouquet of cassis, violets, chocolate, and toasted spices. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it shows the pure, focused, elegant style of the vintage, has ultra-fine tannins, and outstanding length. It's one of the finest wines from this estate I've tasted, and the quality here continues to skyrocket."
