There is some deep blackcurrent fruit here but the sample we tasted was showing quite a bit of oak influence. You feel it on the palate as well. It's very creamy and rich, then comes lots of chalky tannin on the finish. This should all knit together in time but for now the parts are slightly disjointed. Drinking range: 2025 - 2035 L&S (Apr 2019)

Perfumed and polished aromas of stewed blackcurrants, cherries, cloves, dark chocolate, lavender and musk. It’s full-bodied with firm, fine-grained tannins. Sleek, refined finish. Pretty strength with elegance. Try from 2024. Rating: 94 James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com (Feb 2021)

The deeply colored 2018 Château Marquis De Terme is another outstanding wine that shines for its elegance and complexity. Offering a medium-bodied, supple, lightly textured style as well as notes of cassis, spicy oak, and tobacco, it has ripe tannins, good balance, and a clean finish. It’s a more elegant Margaux that’s going to benefit from 4-5 years of bottle age. Rating: 90-92 Jeb Dunnuck, www.jebdunnuck.com (May 2019)

Barrel sample. Darkest cherry colour with black core. Pure dark fruit, fine cassis aroma. Even a hint of citrus. Nicely juicy in the middle, the tannins smooth and chocolate-textured. Lovely fruit fills the core and the texture is rounded already. Drinking range: 2025 - 2032 Rating: 16.5 Julia Harding MW, www.JancisRobinson.com (Apr 2019)

Château Marquis de Terme

Château Marquis de Terme was once part of an enormous estate that took in Rauzan-Segla, Rauzan-Gassies and Desmirail too, but by the time François de Peguilham Marquis de Terme came to own it in 1762 the estate had broken up into the four constituents we know today. The Marquis gave his name to the estate, an aristocratic name that survived the Revolution. Along the way, Thomas Jefferson came to visit and praised the wines in his diary. At the 1855 classification, Marquis de Terme was awarded 4th Growth status. Marquis de Terme was purchased, in 1935, by the Sénéclauze family who own it today. Château Marquis de Terme sits in the village of Margaux, with Durfort-Vivens next door and the two Rauzans immediately to its south. Of the 39.5ha of vineyard, 60% are Cabernet Sauvignon all planted on fairly typical Médoc gravel soil, whilst the more clay parts of the estate are given over to Merlot, with a small planting of Petit Verdot. Vines average around 35 years old. Ever with an eye to the future, Marquis de Terme have been experimenting with organic viticulture; and they age a small proportion of their wine in concrete “eggs” to achieve the benefits of wood ageing without the wood.
