Margaux 4th Growth with organic certification since 2017 — 26-parcel precision viticulture producing wines of remarkable depth and longevity
Château Marquis de Terme is a 4th Growth classified estate in the Margaux appellation, with origins dating to December 16, 1762, when François de Péguilhan, Marquis de Terme, received the land as a dowry on the occasion of his marriage. Since 1935 the property has been owned by the Sénéclauze family, who have driven a steady renaissance. The 45-hectare estate sits on deep gravel soils in the heart of Margaux, planted to 59% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot across 26 individual parcels. From the 2013 vintage the château transitioned to 100% organic viticulture and achieved full organic certification in 2017. Grapes are harvested entirely by hand, sorted twice (in vineyard and on table), and fermented by parcel in temperature-controlled concrete vats before ageing in French oak for 16 to 18 months.
