Marquis d'Alesme
Château Marquis d’Alesme is a third growth Margaux making enormous strides forward since its acquisition by the Perrodo family in 2006. It has become clear that Nathalie Perrodo, along with her talented winemaking team led by Marjolaine de Coninck, are fully realising the estate’s potential through the significant investment and improvements envisioned by her late father.
A very close neighbour of Château Margaux, Marquis d’Alesme occupies 15 hectares of breath-taking vineyards found on the Lieu-dit of Les Terrasses de Margaux. Characterised by gravel-rich soils mixed with sand, clay and limestone, the sun-exposed slopes are cooled by the nearby Gironde river, providing the perfect growing conditions for vines.
