Château Marquis de Terme 2022

Jane Anson - Inside Bordeaux

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

A blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 41% Merlot and 4% Petit Verdot, the 2022 Marquis de Terme expresses aromas of oak, spices, pencil shavings and ripe dark berries. Concentrated but a bit over-extracted and with firm and chunky tannins, it reveals a broad-shouldered, punchy style that privileges power over charm.

The finest vintage to date from this château, the 2022 Château Marquis De Terme checks in as 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 41% Merlot, and 4% Petit Verdot, all of which is resting in 50% new French oak. This terroir can often yield a more foursquare wine, yet director Ludovic David has done a great job over the past decade, and the wines today show much more finesse and elegance. Sporting a deep purple hue as well as terrific notes of pure cassis, blueberries, flowers, and spicy oak, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a pure, layered mouthfeel, and solid, building tannins. It's a terrific Margaux. Tasted twice.

James Suckling

Blackberries and pencil shavings with blueberries and dark chocolate follow through to a medium body with a solid core of pretty fruit and a polished and refined palate. The tannin structure is very impressive, yet there is an underlying freshness. Drink after 2027.
