About this wine

La Couronne de Marquis de Terme is the second wine of the fourth-growth estate Château Marquis de Terme, located in the prestigious Margaux appellation of Bordeaux. Crafted with the same meticulous attention to detail as the Grand Vin, this wine is sourced from younger vines on the estate's gravel-rich terroir. It offers a more accessible and approachable expression of Margaux, characterized by its elegance, silky tannins, and vibrant red fruit profile. The wine undergoes careful vinification and aging in French oak barrels, resulting in a harmonious balance between fruit purity and subtle woody notes. It is designed to be enjoyed earlier than the flagship wine while still retaining the classic finesse and aromatic complexity synonymous with the Marquis de Terme estate.
