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 2020 vintage is a vintage of climatic contrast. The mild winter weather allowed for an early budding of the vines. The alternating rains in the spring and the drought during the summer have anchored the 2020 vintage in its typicality. A warm and beautiful September gave us the perfect maturity to produce a great vintage with a classic blend.

Tasting notes
