Château Marquis de Termeʼs history starts in 1762, when the property was included in Mademoiselle Ledoulx dʼEmpletʼs dowry in her marriage to François de Peguilhan, Marquis de Terme. The property, belonging to the Sénéclauze family since 1935, has a 260-year history. Cuvée 1762 is the expression of this timelessness. It is made to be the representation of the personality and the typycity of our terroir. All 26 of the vineyardʼs plots are used in the blend.

Vintage

This vintage offered us a climatic year full of contrasts and unexpected events. But the month of September was the turning point of this vintage. It brought rain and sunshine every day, and boosted the ripening of the grapes, which is essential for quality. The saving rain gave back a Bordeaux classicism to the cabernet sauvignon while the merlot had the maturity of sunny vintages. This difference in ripening style is undoubtedly the carrier of the subtle harmony of the blends of grape varieties to come, and is one of the characteristics of this vintage.

Tasting notes

Cuvée 1762 has a deep colour with glints of purple. Rich bouquet with floral notes and scents of blackberry, dark chocolate, bitter orange and liquorice. The palate is full-bodied, round and creamy. Dark berry flavours emerge to accompany the mocha finish.
