A distinguished Margaux estate with a reputation for elegance and finesse, Château Marquis de Terme reveals aromas of cassis, blackberry, black cherry, violet, cedar, graphite, and subtle spice. Richly layered yet beautifully refined, it offers silky tannins, vibrant freshness, exceptional balance, and a long, graceful finish.

Food Pairing: Pair with beef Wellington, roast lamb, duck breast, venison, truffle potatoes, aged Comté, wild mushrooms, or braised short ribs.

94 Points - James Suckling 

Impressive aromas of fresh summer berries, slate and toasty oak. This has a very succulent array of ripe red plums and berries and delivers a smooth, long and appealingly grainy edge of very plush, flavorful tannins. A lot to like here. A blend of merlot, cabernet sauvignon and petit verdot. Try from 2021.

92 Points - Wine Enthusiast 

This relatively little-known estate is now performing well. In this vintage the wine has gained weight as well as blackberry fruits and rich tannins. Its balance is already there and the wine should develop to be drunk by 2023.

90 Points - Wine Spectator

Warm in feel, with dark plum, cassis and cherry compote flavors forming the core. Generally open in feel, with light cocoa, tobacco and alder notes adding spine and texture to offset the tasty fruit. Best from 2021 through 2031. 10,833 cases made.
