94 points Jane Anson

"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."

92-94 The Wine Independent

"The 2023 Marquis d'Alesme is deep garnet-purple in color. Fragrant notions of rose oil, fresh raspberries, redcurrant preserves, and kirsch slowly emerge from the glass, leading to notes of iris, tilled soil, and underbrush. The light to medium-bodied palate delivers tight-knit red berry flavors with a grainy texture and lively line of acidity, finishing on a compelling floral tea note. This is a very pretty wine. The blend is 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot, and 5% Cabernet Franc, with pH 3.60. It is aging in oak barrels, 45% new. (LPB)"

93-95 Antonio Galloni for Vinous

"The 2023 Marquis d'Alesme is impressive. Raspberry jam, blood orange, white flowers, mint and lavender abound. Silky, elegant tannins wrap it all together in style. A closing burst of bright acids and lifted floral notes lends the last kick of resonance. Classy, elegant and polished, the 2023 is one of the best recent editions I have encountered. Tasted two times. (AG) ."
