The vineyard is located in the municipality of Margaux in the area of the same name in the Médoc(Bordeaux). Its neighbour is the famous Château Margaux. In 1661, the merchant Pierre des Mesures de Rausan (Rauzan) bought a large plot of land from the de Gassies family. This subsequently gave rise to the wine estates Château Desmirail, Château Rauzan-Gassies, Château Rauzan-Ségla and the present Château Marquis-de-Terme. In 1762, it came into the possession of the Marquis de Terme François de Peguilhan through marriage as the dowry of Elizabeth de Ledoulx d'Emplet. During his visit to Bordeaux in May 1787, the then US ambassador to France Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) paid a visit to the estate.
There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
