The 2020 vintage is a vintage of climatic contrast. The mild winter temperatures allowed the vines to bud early. Alternating rainfall in the spring and drought during the summer gives the 2020 vintage its specificity. A warm and beautiful weather in September provided the perfect ripeness to produce a great vintage with a classic blend. Marquis de Terme 2020 is the perfect example of elegance and balance.
An intense and deep purple colour with ink touches. An expressive first nose with notes of violet and liquorice. The aromatic power of the cabernet sauvignon gives a developed fruit of blackcurrant, red and black fruits with a peppery touch brought by the petit verdot which intensifies the nose. Elegant woodiness reinforces the aromatic complexity of roasting, mocha and cedar.
An ample mouth with dense and enveloping black fruit. A beautiful velvety and silky tannic structure which prolongs the finish, a wine full of balance and elegance. A great vintage of Château Marquis de Terme.
Unique, timeless, and unbeatable, it is the first representative and keystone of the domain. That is why it receives the greatest attention in its preparation. After sorting the grapes in the vineyards and then carefully on a sorting table, vinification is done by parcels with minimal intervention. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in concrete and thermoregulated stainless steel tanks before aging for 16 to 18 months in oak barrels, with an annual production of around 80,000 bottles.
Château Marquis de Terme fully expresses its typical gravel terroir through its blend of mostly Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. The vineyard is planted on a historic gravel terroir in the heart of the Margaux appellation. Precision, technique, and new materials bring more purity to the wines. Density and freshness reveal silky notes with elegantly crafted tannins, typical of Marquis de Terme wines.
