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.

J-M Quarin : 95/100 “Hints of vanilla and black fruit when the glass is swirled. Very delicate on the palate at first, with a refined texture and plenty of flavour, the wine melts on the palate, juicy and long, leading to a beautifully vibrant and fragrant finish. For the second time, following the 2023 vintage in bottles, this wine now exemplifies the delicacy and depth of Margaux wines.”

La Revue du Vin de France : 92-95/100 “The style is evolving here, and Marquis d’Alesme displays a lovely freshness, with a fine texture and, above all, a beautifully vibrant fruitiness. The ageing process also appears more subtle in the sample tasted, which bodes well for its future. One to watch closely.” 

Bettane+Desseauve : 92-93/100 “With good structure and well-defined aromas, it expresses a lovely freshness in this vintage. The finish, which is still slightly tight, suggests excellent ageing potential.”

Vinous (N. Martin) : 91-93/100 "The 2025 Marquis d'Alesme Becker [...] has a fragrant nose, quintessentially Margaux, with delineated scents of black cherries, violet, incense and light crushed stone. Very seductive, very precise. The palate is medium-bodied, with rounded tannins, a keen line of acidity and just a very slight herbaceous element behind that black, plummy fruit that should be subsumed during élevage."
