Another beautiful wine that shines for its texture and balance, the 2021 Château Marquis d'Alesme (51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc) sports a deep purple hue to go with a focused, vibrant nose of blue fruits, spice box, and integrated oak. It's medium-bodied on the palate, has ripe, silky tannins, and again, remarkable balance and purity.

Marquis d’Alesme 2021 presents a more delicate image, with a natural, smooth palate and intricate, soft tannins. Although it does not have stunningly complex fruitiness, its approachable nature should still appeal to many fans who are values elegance. If the tannins become silkier on the finish, it will be even better. Marquis d’Alesme 2021??????,?????????????,??????????????,??????????????????????????????????????????????,????????

The 2021 Marquis d'Alesme Becker was picked from 30 September and 14 October, matured 50% new oak. Now, this has a lovely bouquet with iris flower infusing the lifted black fruit, fine mineralité here. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly chewy tannins, fine grip, slightly saline with a bit of sinew on the finish. Fine sense of energy here, though it does not fan out like the 2019 or 2020, i.e. it reflects the growing season.

The 2021 Marquis 'Alesme is packed with inky dark fruit, licorice, lavender, spice, graphite and new leather. Although not exactly the last word in finesse, the 2021 certainly packs a good bit of punch. Incisive tannins will need a few years to settle down.

Leuchtendes Rubin. Was für ein schöner Duft, super floral, klare Cassisfrucht, Himbeeren. Im Gaumen straff, knackig und frisch, eine delikate Frucht, gute Konzentration, feinkörniges Tannin, der Wein ist super saftig, elegant und zeigt viel Frische. Da tanzen die Papillen. 2025-2040 (Verkostet im April 2022. Dourthe)

Moins boisé qu'à son habitude, ce qui explique des notes de fruits noirs et une pointe florale plus présente, Marquis d'Alesme propose un toucher de bouche tendu, une structure moyennement dense mais équilibrée, des arômes de café et de moka en finale et une sensation aérienne très agréable. Un bel équilibre.

This 15-hectare estate has produced the Perrodo family's most serious, structured wine this year in the form of the 2021 Marquis d'Alesme. Exhibiting aromas of raspberries, red cherries, violets and blood orange, it's medium to full-bodied, with powdery tannins, lively acids and creditable persistence on the finish.
