critic reviews
93+/100Neal Martin,Vinous
The 2023 Marquis de Terme is tightly wound on the nose with blackberry, bilberry and light sous-bois scents, tobacco emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with sapid black fruit, gentle grip, fine balance with good substance and complexity on the finish. One of the best wines from the estate in recent years, maybe better than in barrel.

Glass-staining rich plum colour, this has clear structure and concentration, very much classic Left Bank in its fruit chracter and tannic grip, good balance, enjoyable, austere right now but will fill out through the mid palate over ageing, and has fennel and black pepper spice to round things off with a punch. This year includes the Marojallia vines for the first time.
