Château Marquis d'Alesme is an estate located in Margaux in Gironde. In the Margaux AOC, it is classified as a third growth in the official 1855 Bordeaux wine classification. The estate remained in the d'Alesme family until 1803. It was then purchased by a Dutchman, Jean Bekker-Terrlink. At that time, the new owner associated his name with that of his property. This is how Château Marquis d'Alesme became Château Marquis d'Alesme Becker. The vineyard was established in 1585. Its vineyard area is 15 hectares with grape varieties consisting mainly of Cabernet-Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, complemented by Merlot and Petit Verdot. The average age of the vines is 40 years.

For tasting or gifting, we recommend the Château Marquis d'Alesme 1996 and the Château Marquis d'Alesme 2000.

The name of the Château comes from an old family in the region. The first record of the property dates back to 1616. During the First Empire, the estate was sold to a Dutch merchant, Jean Bekker Terrlink. The latter's name, germanized, was added to that of the founder during the 1855 Médoc wine classification: this is how Château Marquis d'Alesme Becker was registered as a 3rd growth. In 1938, Edmond Ritz, a mining engineer from Alsace, bought the property, which was later inherited by his grandson, Jean Claude Zuger. Hubert Perrodo (1944-2006), a French industrialist and owner of the Cru Bourgeois Château Labégorce in Margaux, acquired the wine estate in 2006. Initially, a team was recreated and significant work was undertaken: planting, trellising, drainage, and return to traditional plowing. Everything is being done to ensure the renaissance and future of a great wine, respecting its traditions, enhancing its terroir, and modernizing its production tools. Since Hubert Perrodo's death in 2006, the Hubert Perrodo Family properties in Margaux have been managed by Nathalie Perrodo.
