Château Marquis de Terme 2021
Château Marquis de Terme has a long history dating back to the 18th century. The estate covers about 40 hectares in Margaux, planted primarily with classic Bordeaux varieties. The terroir is composed of gravelly soils, which are ideal for producing structured wines with elegance and aging potential. The Château Marquis de Terme 2021 is a quintessential Margaux, emphasising balance, finesse, and aromatic complexity. In a vintage marked by cooler conditions, the wine reflects a more classic Bordeaux style with fresh acidity, moderate alcohol, and a focus on purity of fruit rather than sheer power.
Tenuta San Leonardo, San Leonardo, - Half 2017
"…one of the great wines of Italy… Sassicaia and San Leonardo seem like brothers separated in childhood." Wine Advocate, December 2014 "Surely the most successful Bordeaux blend of Northern Italy" Jancis Robinson, August 2012 The wines are more akin to Bordeaux than Bolgheri with their balance and purity and (says leading Italian critic Nicolas Belfrage) ‘can have an elegance-cum-depth capable of taking on the best clarets of the world‘. San Leonardo’s owner Marchese Carlo Guerrieri Gonzaga, a rare example (at the time) of a professionally-trained aristocrat-oenologist, spent time at Tenuta San Guido back in the 1960s and subsequently employed the same legendary consultant, Giacomo Tachis, as Sassicaia for a time. San Leonardo’s outstanding Bordeaux blend has received ‘Tre Bicchiere’ from Gambero Rosso for an extraordinary fourteen vintages consecutively and was also numbered among the Guide’s ‘Fifty Wines which changed Italy’. Latterly the critics have got on board with great write-ups from Jancis Robinson, The Wall Street Journal (to whom we introduced the estate) and the Wine Advocate giving recent vintages of San Leonardo 94-97 point scores. "One of my personal favourite Italian wines, unquestionably the top winery in the region and renowned as one of the most consistent – stylistically and qualitatively – in the whole of Italy, YET its wines remain extremely well-priced by comparison to more widely publicised names." Tom Harrow, Honest Grapes Wine Director
