Originally established in 1762, the Margaux vineyard was purchased by Pierre Seneclauze in 1935, who has since passed it on to his sons, Pierre-Louis, Philippe and Jean, who are the current owners. Since 2009, the managing director, Ludovic David has been undertaking a new direction for the winery, to expand the operation and bring it into the 21st century. Chateau Marquis de Terme was classified 4th growth in the Official Classification of 1855. Located in the centre of the Margaux appellation, the property shares a similar climate to that enjoyed by the Médoc: maritime, with the Gironde estuary and the Bay of Biscay combining to act as a climate regulator and the coastal pine forests sheltering the vines from the westerly and north-westerly winds. The vineyards (Cabernet Sauvignon 55%; Merlot 35%; Cabernet Franc 3%; Petit Verdot 7%) lie on gravelly-clay soils. Vinification includes approximately 18 months' wood ageing, 40% new oak.
