Slim and supple, savoury blue fruits, shot through with campfire and liquorice, crayon and roses, well handled in the vintage. Good Margaux typicity and has ageing ability in the mid term. Harvest 25 September to 4 October. 40% new oak. Now including the vines from Chateau Marojallia, but also reducing the percentage of 1st wine overall, so really focusing on the best plots. 92 points

The 2024 Marquis de Terme is elegant, perfumed and nicely lifted. Crushed flowers, mint, spice, red cherry, cinnamon and rose petal lend attractive aromatic presence. This mid-weight, gracious Margaux is impeccably done. It’s the sort of wine that is not trying to be anything more than was possible in this vintage. A burst of fruit punctuates the finish. Tasted three times. 90-92 points

The 2024 Marquis de Terme comes across as sultry and lacks the fruit intensity of its peers at the moment, though it is delineated and fresh with no green traits. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, a bit more rustic than other Margaux wines but solid with a cohesive cedar-infused finish. Fine. 89-91 points
