Château Marquis d'Alesme Becker – Margaux – Red – 2020:

 

Château Marquis d’Alesme: A Margaux Third Growth Masterpiece

Château Marquis d’Alesme, a Third Growth in the 1855 Classification, stands as a testament to the elegance and finesse of the Margaux appellation. Under the direction of the Perrodo family, the estate has undergone a magnificent revival, blending classic Bordeaux tradition with a cosmopolitan, art-inspired vision.

Vineyard & Winemaking Excellence

Crafted predominantly from Cabernet Sauvignon grown on the Médoc’s deep gravel soils, the blend is softened by Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc. The wine is aged in French oak, which integrates seamlessly to build structure, complexity, and longevity.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: A deep, opaque purple-black hue.
• Nose: A complex and seductive nose of vibrant dark fruits (black cherry, blackcurrant), floral notes of violet, and savory hints of cedar, tobacco, and cocoa bean.
• Palate: Full-bodied yet exquisitely balanced. The mid-palate is silky and plush, showcasing Margaux’s signature velvet texture, backed by firm, polished tannins that lead to a long, graceful finish.

Pairing & Serving Suggestions

This Grand Cru Classé demands a rich, savory counterpart. Serve at 60-65°F (15.5-18°C). Decanting for 1-3 hours is highly recommended for younger vintages to allow the bouquet to fully unfurl.
