The 2005 Château Marquis d`Alesme Becker is a red Bordeaux from the Margaux region, classified as a Third Growth in the 1855 classification. The estate spans 15 hectares, benefiting from a terroir of gravelly soils on the plateaus and clay-limestone nearer to the Gironde estuary. The 2005 vintage is noted for its concentration and structure. This wine presents aromas of dark fruit, tobacco and hints of spice, while the palate reveals a full body with integrated tannins. Established in 1780, the estate prioritises traditional winemaking methods to maintain its distinct character.
