Wine rated 17/20 (Reference wine)
Rated estate (2020 guide) 4 stars (Producers of very high quality, those who are the pride of French vineyards)
About wine:
Very nice wine, delicate texture, lovely fruit, lovely style, refined. Probably good value for money.
About the estate:
Under the effective leadership of Ludovic David, with the full support of the Sénéclauze family, owners of the 40 hectares of vines since 1935, this wine has gradually refined its tannin quality and the integration of its woodiness. Ludovic David has revolutionized the vinification and aging of this wine, which benefits from a remarkable terroir, equipping it with the most modern tools, which has allowed it to rediscover its Margala character and compete with the best wines in the region since 2010.

Wine rating (2022 guide) 2 stars (Outstanding wine)
Rated estate (2022 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly recognized by the guide)
About wine:
While wood is still very present on the nose and palate, the intensity of ripe red and black fruit aromas on the nose and the amplitude and solid tannins on the palate leave no doubt as to the quality and potential of this fine bottle for aging.
About the estate:
Straddling the communes of Margaux and Cantenac, this vineyard, founded in 1762, has been owned by the Sénéclauze family since 1935. At the helm of the 40-hectare vineyard since 2009 is a new director, Ludovic David, an agricultural engineer who cut his teeth in the Libourne region, working for Bernard Magrez. In 2019, a restaurant opened to complement the tourist activities on offer.

Rated estate (2021 guide) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About wine:
Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 Marquis de Terme bursts out of the glass with lively, joyful notes of kirsch, black raspberries, and blackcurrant pastilles, followed by hints of anise, damp earth, and bouquet garni. The medium-bodied palate is delicate in style with only 13% alcohol declared and plenty of youthfulness, dried herbs accentuating the red and black fruits, supported by accessible, mellow tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing with a lovely liveliness. This is an excellent example of a fresher style for this vintage.

Wine rated (2023 guide) 93/100
Rated estate (2023 guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking and, as such, all the estates listed in it, even those without stars, represent, in our opinion, the excellence of French production.)
About wine:
The 2018 vintage is well managed, despite its excesses. It is a wine that has found its balance and freshness.
About the estate:
Owned by the Sénéclauze family, this discreet cru has been gaining in density and precision for several vintages now. This is partly thanks to Ludovic David, the cru's director, who took over the vineyard and modernized the winemaking equipment. The desire to produce more full-bodied wines with, above all, more velvety tannins is clearly evident. All that is missing is a touch more refinement, which seems to have arrived with the latest vintages.

Rated estate (2021 guide) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Wine Enthusiast)
About wine:
In this wine, black fruits and tannins give both a dry core and a rich texture that is already beautifully integrated with the fruit. The fresh acidity adds to the wine's appeal and aging potential. Drink from 2026 onwards.

Wine rated 93/100
About wine:
Intense dark purple color. Pure, floral nose offering violet, blackcurrant, blackberry, sage, and mint. Fairly full-bodied on the palate, with dense fruit but moderate extraction, supple tannins, fresh aromas of black fruit, cherry brandy, tobacco, and a long, velvety finish. Elegant, almost Burgundian texture.

Yves Beck
Wine rated (2020 guide) 93/100
About wine:
This wine has a bouquet rich in fruit. It displays notes of red and black berries as well as hints of licorice wood. Delicious and inviting on the palate. The wine is slender, balanced, and well supported by the freshness of its acidity, while the tannins provide structure. A sapid and racy wine that can already be enjoyed in its youth, while taking into account its aging potential. Persistent finish. 2023-2040
