Produced by Jean-Claude Zuger, the estate holds the prestigious title of a Third Growth under the historic 1855 classification. The wine was bottled directly at the château, reflecting the traditional practices of the estate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine originates from Margaux, a famous communal appellation situated in the southern part of the Médoc peninsula in Bordeaux. Margaux is home to the majority of the classified estates in the Haut-Médoc and is globally recognized for its historical significance and finesse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe composition is a classic Bordeaux blend, primarily built upon Cabernet and Merlot, with the addition of Petit Verdot. \"Cabernet\" serves as a collective term for Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, which form the backbone of the region's red wines. These thick-skinned grapes have a global presence, from Bordeaux to Tuscany and California. In Bordeaux, Cabernet Sauvignon requires a relatively warm climate to fully ripen, while Cabernet Franc can thrive in slightly cooler zones. Merlot, a classic blue grape widely cultivated in regions like Bordeaux, Washington, and Northern Italy, complements the blend. Finally, the inclusion of Petit Verdot, a powerful blue grape also found in Spain and California, is traditionally utilized by the estate to contribute deep color and structure to the wine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château Marquis D'Alesme Becker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57668372267334,"sku":null,"price":180.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1651_ad9db577-e837-4f22-b7f7-993d92689edc.jpg?v=1792570428","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.com\/products\/margaux-chateau-marquis-dalesme-1987","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
