Critic reviews
"The 2022 Marquis d'Alesme Becker has an intense nose with a mixture of red and black fruit, cedar and light iodine scents moving toward more floral aromas with aeration. This gains in terms of delineation with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with silky-smooth tannins. This is one of the more modern Margaux wines, plush with veins of blueberry and vanilla toward the finish. Time will temper this Margaux, so be patient."
Neal Martin, February 2025, Vinous.com
"The 2022 Marquis d'Alesme is a heady, voluptuous wine. Dark cherry, plum, mocha, new leather, spice and blood orange all meld together in this succulent, racy Margaux. The 2022 offers tons of immediacy and overall appeal."
Antonio Galloni, January 2025, Vinous.com
"Another concentrated Margaux, the 2022 Château Marquis D'Alesme boasts a deep purple hue as well as brilliant aromatics of red and black fruits, smoked tobacco, chocolate, and wood smoke. Medium to full-bodied and nicely balanced, with plenty of mid-palate depth, it shows the ripe, sexy, opulent style of the vintage and will offer ample pleasure in its youth yet still age gracefully."

"Glass-staining purple gives vibrancy and sets the tone for the stunning depths and character of the wine. This has so much texture, with rippling powerful cassis and blueberry fruit, slate and pummice stone, grips on through the palate, and like the best 2022s manages to be extremely ripe without being overly sweet, with a build up of tannins that gives structure without being drying. As it opens you get pulses of pummice stone minerality, and floral aromatics. Harvest September 15 to October 4. 60% new oak. Marjolaine de Coninck CEO and technical director. The blend given is planted, not as per final wine, allowing slight evolution over ageing, so these are ones to check back in on when in bottle."
