Château Marquis de Terme

The Château Marquis de Terme is a very pretty reference of the great wines of Margaux, renowned for its fruit and finesse. It was in 1762 that the Marquis de Terme gave his name to this property, which he received by marriage as a dowry from his wife.

Thomas Jefferson, US ambassador to France, praised it in his travel notes in 1787, ranking it among his favorites. 

The Château Marquis de Terme was awarded the title of Fourth Grand Cru Classé in the prestigious 1855 classification, published for the Paris Universal Exhibition. The property has belonged to the Sénéclauze family since 1935, who continue to contribute to its qualitative development: respect for the environment, plot management and tailor-made vinification help reveal the Extraordinary potential of its terroir.

The vineyard covers 39 hectares of vines, planted with 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot. It is located on gravelly soils with deep clay in places. The wines are aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, 50% of which are new.

One Second wine is produced by the estate, La Couronne de Marquis de Terme.

Château Marquis de Terme is renowned for the splendor and gourmandise of its wines, which offer a beautiful expression of the Margaux terroir and stand out for their seductive side.

Description Château Marquis de Terme 2016.

Another fine vintage, Margaux, born under excellent climatological auspices to which an exceptional terroir gave birth, and which together, not to mention the mastery of the cellar master, make for a very great wine that will be able to age in the cellar, protected from light, with bottles laid down, until its qualitative peak, estimated at around 2040.
This Margaux 2016 is elegant, both on the nose and on the palate, with beautiful tension on notes of small black fruits such as blackcurrant, blueberry and blackberry. The palate is round and velvety, with a broad aromatic palette of ripe, almost jammy black berries. The tannins are chiselled with elegance and freshness, and the finish is long and complex, with a final touch of vanilla woodiness.
Enjoy at room temperature, decanting a few hours beforehand to give it time to express itself
Successive tastings will reveal its full potential, but this is a wine to be enjoyed with red or white meats, ceps from Bordeaux or Dordogne, or girolles flavored with black or white truffles.

The care we take when receiving wines in our cellars enables us to detect bottles with imperfections (dirty or faded labels, damaged capsules, etc.). In such cases, they are systematically set aside and never put online! Our preparation team selects only bottles with perfect presentation for your orders!

It is these bottles with slight external defects that we present to you in the "Existe en imparfaite" selection. These bottles are, of course, of "irreproachable" gustatory quality, but suffer from slight defects on the label or cap. We therefore offer them at a preferential price, making the pleasure of tasting them even more affordable.
