2004 | Chateau Marquis de Terme | Chateau Marquis de Terme

Fabulous aromatics of graphite, melted licorice, black truffles, and cassis suggest something profound, but on the palate, the wine does not follow through.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Fabulous aromatics of graphite, melted licorice, black truffles, and cassis suggest something profound, but on the palate, the wine does not follow through. Slightly clipped and monolithic, but still very good, this mid-weight Margaux possesses terrific aromatics, but not the flavor/concentration/depth to match the evolved bouquet.

Producer Information

Château Marquis de Terme is a classified fourth growth Grand Cru Classé estate in the Margaux appellation of Bordeaux's Médoc wine region, on the so-called left bank of the Gironde estuary, some 30km (18 miles) north of Bordeaux city. The château itself is situated on the southern edge of Margaux (now, administratively, known as Margaux-Cantenac) village. Neighbors include Château Lascombes to the northwest, Durfort-Vivens to the northeast, and Rauzan-Ségla and Rauzan-Gassies to the south. Unlike the majoirty of its neighbors, however, Marquis de Terme has remained in the ownership of the same family since the mid 1930s. The estate can trace its history back to 1762 when François de Peguilhan, Marquis de Terme, married Mademoiselle Ledoulx of Emple, whose dowry was the estate, which subsequently took the Marquis' title. As with many estates owned by the landed gentry, the property was sequestered during the French Revolution and a succession of ownerships followed. Nonetheless, during much of the 19th Century, the estate was run by the Feuillerat family, giving some degree of continuity. The family finally took over the estate although the Wall Street Crash in 1929, and its effects, forced the Feuillerats to sell.
