Marquis De Terme 2021
Description
Tasting notes
Reviewed by: William Kelley
Exhibiting aromas of sweet cherries, berries, loamy soil and creamy new oak, the 2021 Marquis de Terme is medium to full-bodied, broad and fleshy, with a seamless, polished profile and creditable depth at the core despite the challenging vintage.

The 2021 Marquis de Terme showed well from barrel, and this bottle (the first to be opened at the château, no less) has a fresh and vibrant nose with well-defined black fruit intermixed with tobacco and graphite aromas. The palate is fresh and lively, with moderate weight. It's classical in style with a tobacco-infused, elegant finish. Black coffee hints appear on the aftertaste. This is a very commendable Margaux for the vintage. Tasted at the Marquis de Terme vertical.

Tight and focused with blackberry, blueberry and some licorice character. Medium body, firm tannins and a bright, linear finish.

Good depth of dark currants and baking spices with chili chocolate and dark olives. Tight and fine-grained on the palate, providing nice structure from the nicely chewy tannins. Tight and pretty long. Drink from 2025.
About the Producer
The grapes of the Marquis de Damon estate are all hand-picked, and only the grapes that have been strictly screened can enter the subsequent winemaking process. During the brewing process, the winery uses gravity to transport the grape juice, not pumping. The grape juice will be fermented in concrete tanks, stainless steel tanks or temperature-controlled oak barrels, and the fermented wine will be transferred to French oak barrels to mature for 16-18 months (of which the proportion of new barrels is 50%). Starting from the 2016 vintage, the manor has also specially used wine bottles with anti-counterfeiting and product tracking functions to package the wines of the winery. Consumers can use the QR code scanning function of smartphones to enter relevant websites to complete the identification of wines. At present, the Marquis de Damon mainly produces five types of red wines, among which the quality of the authentic wine, the Chateau Marquis de Terme, Margaux, France, is particularly excellent. Powerful and elegant, this wine is full-bodied, tannin and chewy, with rich fruit flavors and a balanced structure. It has won many wine competitions and many leading wine critics and wine critics. High score.
