Château Marquis d'Alesme

4/5View all 19 reviews

The Marquis d'Alesme Castle Located in Margaux, it was founded in 1585 by François d'Alesme, then squire and advisor to King Henry III at the Parliament of Bordeaux. Undergoing constant evolution over the centuries, Marquis d'Alesme was classified as a 3rd Grand Cru Classé in 1855, when it was owned by the Snazjdzeski family. In 1938, Edmond Ritz, a native of Alsace, took over the estate; in 1979, his grandson undertook extensive renovations to modernize and expand the cellar’s capacity to accommodate 250 barrels.

In 2006, a wave of renewal swept through Château Marquis d'Alesme. Hubert Perrodo, a prominent industrialist and already the owner of Château Labégorce, purchased the estate and undertook a major restructuring of the vineyard. Today, the estate is an integral part of Vignobles Labégorce, led by Nathalie Perrodo-Samani. A modernization project in 2013 completely reinvented the entire property, featuring a new fermentation room, new wine cellars, a private pavilion, a guest village, and a collection of gardens.
