Critic reviews
"The 2023 Marquis d'Alesme Becker has a well-defined bouquet that blossoms in the glass, beautiful black cherries and blueberry fruit, very floral and perhaps more expressive than the Labégorce. The palate is medium-bodied with silky tannins, quite lush and yet there is superb tension with a caressing, intense finish. Outstanding."
Neal Martin, February 2026, Vinous.com
"Fine wood spices with subtle creaminess and aromas of wasabi, cassis and berries. Juicy and compact on the medium- to full-bodied palate, with more fine-boned tannins than fruit and a long, structured finish. Drink from 2028."
James Suckling, January 2026, JamesSuckling.com
"Grip and tension, with tomato leaf, peony, lemongrass, slate, pummice stone, spiced plum and damson fruit, not the ink of the Cabernet in the northern Médoc, but caressing and full of fragrant pleasure. 45% new oak for ageing, and proof again that this estate is becoming one of the quiet scene-stealers of the Margaux appellation."
