Chateau Marquis d'Alesme Margaux 3. Cru Classé 2021 i trækasse

Jane Anson

”Dark ruby in colour, this has been carefully handled, pushing a litle further with the extraction than some, and the violet reflection around the edge of the glass suggests it has worked well. Vivid character to the blueberry and raspberry fruits, cola and cocoa bean. Doesn’t have the succulence of some recent vintages of Marquis d’Alesme but beautiful spice and plenty of momentum. Good stuff, an upscore. ”

”Ripe and engaging, it shows notes of plums, wild violet, camphor, mandarin peel, vetiver and lemon juice. Full-bodied, taut and vibrant in the sip, it closes really progressive and persistent. A splendid expression of Margaux.”

La Revue du Vin de France

The 2021 vintage is all about freshness and suppleness, showcasing excellent work on the fine-grained tannins. A lovely classic of the appellation that highlights the fruit, with a touch of vanilla. A wine that already possesses plenty of charm.

Antonio Galloni

The 2021 Marquis d’Alesme is an elegant, polished wine for the year. Floral and spice notes open first. Dark cherry, plum, spice, menthol, dried herbs, leather and cedar emerge gradually, but it is the wine's balance that impresses most.

Jeb Dunnuck

One of the most concentrated wines in the vintage, the 2021 Château Marquis D'Alesme still stays balanced and classy. Red and black fruits, graphite, smoked tobacco, and some cedar pencil notes all define the aromatics, and it's medium to full-bodied, with a layered, textured mid-palate, ripe tannins, and a great finish. Based on 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, aged in 60% new barrels, give it just a few years and enjoy over the following 10-12+.

Brilliant ruby. What a beautiful aroma—highly floral, with clear notes of blackcurrant and raspberries. On the palate, it is taut, crisp, and fresh, with delicate fruit, good concentration, fine-grained tannins, and a wonderfully juicy, elegant character showcasing plenty of freshness. This wine truly makes the taste buds dance.
