94 Points! 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. - JamesSuckling.com
94 Points! Based on 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot, the 2022 Château Marquis De Terme is brilliant stuff, with a richly textured, concentrated, medium to full-bodied style. Ripe darker currants, scorched earth, graphite, and lead pencil nuances all define the aromatics, and it's balanced, with a pure, layered mouthfeel and ripe tannins. It ranks with the finest vintages of this cuvée to date. Give bottles 3-5 years and enjoy over the following two decades or more. - Jeb Dunnuck
94 Points! Lush in its fruit, with waves of dark currant and blackberry reduction, this also shows form thanks to alder, tobacco and savory accents providing cut, while rose hip and dried violet notes add lift. Offers a long, smoldering finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. - Wine Spectator
Marquis de Terme’ story begins in 1762, when Miss Ledoux d’Emplet, wife of François de Peguilhan Marquis de Terme, giving him as a dowry the estate which will henceforth bear his name.
In the aftermath of the French Revolution, multiple families will take turns. Nevertheless, one of them will leave a deep impression in the history of Marquis de Terme : for more than 120 years, the Feuillerat Family will manage the estate before becoming the owner. Thus, 3 generations will take turns who will never stop improving the estate’s wines. Thomas Jefferson, future 3rd president of the United States, stays a long time in France where he is the ambassador from 1785 to 1789. He also acts as wine broker and writes travel diaries in the great French wine-growing regions. He thus stays at Château Marquis de Terme in 1787 and classify it among the top 16 best wines he has ever tasted.
Napoléon III decided to organize the universal exhibition in Paris, official committees are responsible for selecting products and work of art for exhibition. In order to honour the wines of Bordeaux, a classification is requested. That is how Marquis de Terme joined the circle of the Grands Crus Classés 1855.
Pierre Sénéclauze repurchases the property and conveys it to its sons, Pierre-Louis, Phillipe and Jean, actual owners.
The owners appoint Ludovic David to the board of directors of Château Marquis de Terme. This change is the starting point of a new area for the estate. Numerous innovations and a new dynamism are brought to enhance the exceptional terroir of the Marquis de Terme wines.
The birth of a new vintage occurs with the excitement, curiosity, and emotion of creation. With the 2018 vintage, my team and I wanted to give a new meaning to our blending choices, a search for balance between subtlety and suppleness to create Cuvée 1762. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot find here, on our terroir of deep gravel, a development of great distinction.
