Château MARQUIS D'ALESME
3ème grand cru classé

With a winegrowing past dating back to the 17th century and classified as a 3rd growth in 1855, Château Marquis d'Alesme has nevertheless fallen into decline as it has been bought up (many times).

The Perrodo family (Labégorce, Labégorce-Zédée, La Tour de Mons) acquired it in 2006 in a poor state of repair, with solid ambitions: redistribution of the small 15-hectare vineyard, meticulous work in the vineyard, and a state-of-the-art winery... The vineyard has regained its credentials in recent vintages, as confirmed by the critics' notes and comments.

Bettane & Desseauve : 92/100 « Vin net, droit, sans manque de maturité avec des nuances aromatiques qui continueront d’apparaître. »

Vinous (N. Martin): 91-93/100 "The 2024 Marquis d'Alesme has a clean, fresh and well-defined bouquet with pure black cherry and blueberry fruit. Hints of crushed violet develop in the glass. This has the composure of its "sibling", the Labégorce. The palate is medium-bodied, fresh and crisp with pliant tannins and a very harmonious, poised finish. This is promising, and hopefully the quality will be replicated in bottle."

Vinous (A. Galloni): 90-92/100 "The 2024 Marquis d'Alesme is solid, if not particularly exciting. Floral overtones meld into red-toned fruit, cinnamon, blood orange, mocha and espresso. The 2024 is a technically accomplished wine, but one that does not convey anything particularly distinctive."

La Revue du Vin de France : 91-92/100 « Le vin est doté d’une matière précise et élégante. Au moment de la dégustation, il était aussi très marqué par le bois qui, en dehors de lui apporter un caractère épicé, serrait les tanins en finale. »
