Production and refinement

The vineyards of Château Marquis de Terme cover 23 hectares in the heart of the Margaux appellation, on deep gravel soils typical of the Médoc. These soils, rich in pebbles and perfectly draining, promote ideal ripening of Cabernet Sauvignon, giving the wine structure and aromatic complexity. Merlot and Petit Verdot contribute softness and depth. The grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness, ensuring a rigorous selection of the best clusters.

Vinification takes place separately for each parcel, in wooden vats, stainless steel tanks, and concrete vats, to respect the expression of each terroir. After fermentation, the wine matures for 18 months in French oak barrels, where it develops balance and complexity. The judicious use of wood allows the toasted and spicy notes to integrate perfectly without overpowering the fruit, enhancing the natural elegance of Margaux.

Chateu Marquis De Terme

The history of Château Marquis de Terme has deep and prestigious roots dating back to 1762, when Miss Ledoux d’Emplet, wife of François de Peguilhan, Marquis de Terme, received the estate as a dowry, giving it the name it still bears today. After the French Revolution, several families managed the property, but one in particular left an indelible mark: the Feuillerat family, who for over 120 years continuously improved the quality of the domaine’s wines, passing down their passion through three generations. Among the château’s distinguished guests was Thomas Jefferson, the future third President of the United States, who stayed at Marquis de Terme in 1787 during his time as ambassador to France and ranked its wine among the sixteen finest he had ever tasted.

In 1855, during the official Bordeaux Wine Classification commissioned by Napoleon III, Château Marquis de Terme was recognized as a Grand Cru Classé, confirming its excellence among the great wines of the Médoc.

A new chapter began in 1935, when Pierre Sénéclauze acquired the estate. It was later passed down to his sons — Pierre-Louis, Philippe, and Jean — the current owners, who have continued to cultivate quality with the same passion and dedication.

In 2009, the entry of Ludovic David to the board of directors marked the beginning of a new era: technical innovations, dynamism, and new strategies further enhanced the unique terroir of the Château, bringing out the full potential of its wines.

Today, Château Marquis de Terme continues to combine rigor, tradition, and ancestral savoir-faire with creativity and openness, making its wines not only products of excellence but true ambassadors of the style and spirit of Marquis de Terme.

Bordeaux

The Bordeaux region is one of the most important wine territories in the world. Not only does this region reach dizzying qualitative peaks, but it has consistently maintained those results, year after year, with top-notch quality.

Centuries of tradition and pursuit of quality have raised the bar and made Bordeaux wines famous: in 80% of cases, they are imposing red wines of remarkable structure and power, but there are also examples of botrytized or noble rot wines that complete the oenological panorama and elevate Bordeaux's reputation.

Bordeaux benefits from its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. The climate is maritime: mild winters, cool summers, abundant precipitation but very well absorbed by the soil rich in stones, breccia, and sediments. The soils are highly variable on the surface, not particularly fertile, and covered by a thin layer of breccia, while the deeper layers are rich in minerals.

Regarding the classification, most wines are designated as Cru Bourgeois, but otherwise, there is no homogeneous system for the entire region.

Médoc

The Médoc is the most famous area of Bordeaux and is located to the north along the estuary of the Gironde River. The AOC Médoc is the area to the north of the region, while the southern part is called AOC Haut-Médoc.

In the Médoc, mainly red wines are produced with Cabernet Sauvignon (which provides structure), Merlot (which brings softness and elegance), Cabernet Franc (which adds aromatic complexity to the wine). Petit Verdot and Malbec are less common.

In St-Estèphe, the most interesting Cru Bourgeois of the region are produced. Further south, there is the AOC Pauillac, where three of the five Châteaux classified as Premier Cru classé are located (Château Latour, Château Mouton-Rothschild, and Château Lafitte-Rothschild).

Moving south, there is the AOC St-Julien, where the highest concentration of Crus Classés and many excellent Crus Bourgeois are found. Further down, near the coast of the Gironde, we find the AOC Margaux, with its wines famous for elegance and refinement.

Recommended pairings and dishes

Matching by concordance

By analogy, this great Bordeaux pairs beautifully with dishes that share its elegance and complexity. The wine’s lingering flavor harmonizes with refined, slow-cooked preparations, where the concentration of flavors and aromatic richness mirror the depth of Margaux. Structured, subtly spiced, or long-cooked dishes should reflect the wine’s maturity and finesse.

Matching by contrast

This full-bodied, tannic wine finds its perfect balance by contrast with rich, succulent, and fatty dishes. Its acidity and structure counterbalance the intense flavors of red meats or game, while the alcohol content and tannins cleanse and refresh the palate. The harmonious contrast between the wine’s strength and the dishes’ softness creates a deeply satisfying pairing.

It pairs well with

Rich and structured dishes: grilled red meats, roast beef or veal, stewed game, and aged cheeses; green pepper steak, braised venison, long-aged pecorino, and hearty first courses.

Bœuf bourguignon

One of the great classics of French cuisine, regional to the Bordeaux area: a beef stew slow-cooked in Burgundy wine (ideally the same wine being tasted), with vegetables including pearl onions, carrots, and champignon mushrooms, and abundant aromatics. A fantastic way to bring the flavors of France to the table. A rich dish, full of aromas and flavors.

Venison stew

A venison stew (or other types of game meat) is a very flavorful dish: the meat is simmered with carrots, onions, and mushrooms, and served with a very thick white sauce. This dish is suitable for intense and highly satisfying pairings.
