The 2025 Marquis de Terme is terrific, not to mention one of the finest wines I have tasted here. Rich, ample and explosive, the 2025 has so much to offer, starting with its impressive textural depth. Blackberry, gravel, dark spice and licorice add a palpable dimension of somber intensity, while Floral overtones perk up the close. This is seriously impressive. Tasted three times. 04/2026

The 2025 Marquis de Terme was picked September 8 to 23 and aged in 40% new oak. It has a commendably pure redcurrant and raspberry-scented nose, hints of rose petal and violet emerging with time in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with gentle grip. Firm backbone, sapid, with a prickle of white pepper towards the finish. This is a Marquis de Terme with a bit more substance than usual and it should age better than other vintages. A second sample was even better than the first, with a gorgeous finish that reminded me of Palmer! 05/2026

Introverted and reserved at the time of tasting, the 2025 Marquis de Terme reveals aromas of lead pencil, spice and oak that emerge with air. Medium- to full-bodied, dense and firm, it’s built around a structured core of fruit framed by an assertive tannic chassis, concluding with a somber, licorice- and oak-inflected finish. This is a powerful, rather inward-looking wine at this stage. 04/2026

Deep purple-hued, the 2025 Château Marquis De Terme sports a rich, powerful nose of black fruits, smoke, ripe blueberries, iron, and chocolate. Based on 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, and 2% Petit Verdot that will spend 14-16 months in 40% new French oak, it's full-bodied on the palate, with a round, layered mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a great finish. Checking in at 13% alcohol, it's a powerful expression of this château that still holds onto a solid sense of purity and balance. Notably, this is the first vintage for winemaker Paloma Sénéclauze. 05/2026

Couleur noire, aux reflets pourpres. Nez intense, au fruité mûr et crémeux. Epicé à l'agitation du verre. Moelleux en entrée de bouche, savoureux au milieu, avec un joli toucher, le vin se développe ascendant entre le milieu et la finale, où il grandit frais et profond. C'est long et très bon. Assemblage : 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot. Degré d'alcool : 13°. Rendement : 23 hl/ha. 04/2026
