Neal Martin, November 2024, Score: 92.5
The 2020 Marquis d'Alesme Becker has a clean and precise bouquet with blackberry, raspberry and crushed stone aromas. A touch of dried rose petal surfaces with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with pastille-like red fruit on the entry. Plush red fruit, marmalade and white pepper vie for attention with the vivacious, spicy finish. This is approachable, but it should age well in bottle. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.

James Suckling, May 2021, Score: 94-95
Chewy and very tannic with a solid depth of dark fruit, showing blackberry and currant character. Full and powerful. Real structure here.
Region
Margaux
Plump, silky and seductive are the words often used to describe wines from Margaux. Because of their style, they tend to be user friendly and more approachable when young. This is in part due to its terroir which is comprised of the thinnest soil as well as the highest proportion of chunky gravel in all of the Médoc. It drains well but also is it more susceptible to vintage variation. Margaux wines tend to have the highest proportions of Merlot within the core of the Médoc further adding to their ample roundness and openness. Margaux is home to the largest number of classified growths including its namesake first growth, Château Margaux, as well as third growths, Palmer and d'Issan.
