Decanter, January 2023

Roses and patchouli aromas on the nose. Svelte and charming on the palate, sumptuous but restrained and delicate. Excellent sculpting and persistence with real floraity and herbal-touched cool blue fruits. It’s not...

This has aromas of graphite, blackcurrants, blackberries, walnuts and mint chocolate. It’s focused and full-bodied with a frame of polished, firm tannins. All wonderfully integrated and persistent. Firm and fine. Try...

jebdunnuck.com, March 2023

The flagship 2020 Château Marquis De Terme clearly a step up and is based on 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot. Aged all in once-used oak for 16 months, it has a pure bouquet of cassis...

Wine Enthusiast,

(92-94 points) Barrel Sample. This wine has a definite firm structure with its initial dry tannins. Slowly the black fruits seep through to promise balance, richness in structure and fruits for the future. ROGER VOSS

A serious but classic and well balanced Marquis de Terme that falls exactly into the heart of the 2020 vintage signature. Sombre at first, understated loganberry, blackcurrant, mandarin peel, mint and campfire smoke...

Vinous, November 2024

The 2020 Marquis de Terme has a much more classical, sophisticated bouquet compared to the Marquis d'Alesme. The palate is medium-bodied, fresh and delineated with plush black fruit and a healthy dash of white pepper...

The Wine Independent, June 2023

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2020 Marquis de Terme prances out with showy notes of black cherries, warm cassis, and redcurrant preserves, plus touches of garrigue, lilacs, and allspice. The medium-bodied palate is...

Wine Spectator, January 2023

Frankly ripe, this extroverted version brims with warmed boysenberry, açaí and blackberry puree supported by singed sandalwood, black tea and violet notes along the way. Broad, velvety finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot...
