Château Marquis de Terme Margaux 4ème Cru Classé 2016

Supple, sensual, and distinctly Margaux, this is perfume and power in perfect sync. Layers of ripe black cherry and cassis flow across a silky, finely woven palate, lifted by notes of violet and sweet spice. There’s plenty of structure beneath the charm, making it equally at home alongside roast duck or an elegant dinner with good glassware and better company.

Château Marquis de Terme, a Fourth Growth in the 1855 Classification, has seen a quiet renaissance under the Sénéclauze family. With its gravel-rich soils and Cabernet-led precision, the estate is producing some of the most expressive and polished wines in modern Margaux.

94 points – Wine Enthusiast: “Beautifully perfumed and structured, this wine shows ripe fruit balanced by fine tannins and fresh acidity. A classic, poised Margaux.”
