"Talk about a gem in the vintage, I was blown away by the 2016 Château Marquis d'Alesme Becker on each of the three times I was able to taste it....Bravo! 96 points" Jebdunnuck.com

"...the 2016 Marquis d'Alesme Becker leaps from the glass...fantastic freshness lifting the densely packed palate, it has a long, beautifully fragrant finish. 96 points" Lisa Perotti-Brown, RobertParker.com

We have managed to source a small parcel of mature cru classé Margaux to offer to you, from Marquis d'Alesme, aged in professional cellars and with a 96 point score, available at just £360 per dozen in bond.  

A decade on from the vintage, 2016 Château Marquis d'Alesme is showing beautifully.  We've already enjoyed plenty of 2016s from cru bourgeois estates, but the better crus classés like this one are only just coming into their own.  Perfectly poised, with a classic Margaux nose portraying both power and elegance, we found dense red and black fruits, violets, cedar, graphite, black tea, olive and tobacco, and mature tannins on the palate, but still with plenty of youthful energy. 

Quality at Marquis d'Alesme (formerly known as Marquis d'Alesme Becker) has been rising since it was taken over in 2009 by Nathalie Perrodo.  The Perrodo family also owns Labegorce and La Tour du Mons, both also in Margaux.  Massive investment in the château saw the construction of a new winery and the introduction of organic viticulture (2016 was the first vintage produced organically).  This increase in quality in the vineyard and in precision in the winemaking shines through in the bottle, especially so in a lovely vintage like 2016.  At just £30 per bottle in bond, this is superb for the money, so please don't miss out and order some for your cellar today!
