The audacity of an estate that crosses the centuries …
Because we cannot talk about Marquis without telling its story, let us guide you and go back in time with us… (And promise, you won’t take one wrinkle!)


1762

Marquis de Terme’ story begins in 1762, when Miss Ledoux d’Emplet, wife of François de Peguilhan Marquis de Terme, giving him as a dowry the estate which will henceforth bear his name.

2009
A new era looking to the future
The owners appoint Ludovic David to the board of directors of Château Marquis de Terme. This change is the starting point of a new area for the estate. Numerous innovations and a new dynamism are brought to enhance the exceptional terroir of the Marquis de Terme wines.
2022
The birth of a new vintage: Marquis de Terme Cuvée 1762
The birth of a new vintage occurs with the excitement, curiosity, and emotion of creation. With the 2018 vintage, my team and I wanted to give a new meaning to our blending choices, a search for balance between subtlety and suppleness to create Cuvée 1762. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot find here, on our terroir of deep gravel, a development of great distinction.

Today and tomorrow To radiate the Marquis’ state of mind
Marquis de Terme has lived through the centuries and seen owners of different cultures. Meeting place, events and exchanges, the estate combines with excellence the rigour of work and ancestral know-how with creativity, lightness and open-mindedness.
