2024 Marquis d`Alesme (Margaux)

Really lovely quality, so much texture and depth, violet flowers, sweet plum character, perhaps a little sour acidity also, we are fully in push and pull territory, well constructed, powerful but the tannins are hard on the finish. 50% new oak. Harvest 24 September to 8 October. 55% new oak. 3.65 pH. 35 hl/ha yield. 92 points

The 2024 Marquis d`Alesme is solid, if not particularly exciting. Floral overtones meld into red-toned fruit, cinnamon, blood orange, mocha and espresso. The 2024 is a technically accomplished wine, but one that does not convey anything particularly distinctive. 90-92 points
