Château Terrefort-Lescalle

Château Terrefort-Lescalle is a Bordeaux red from Château Lescalle, the Tessandier family's estate just a few minutes from Margaux. The name means strong earth.

Emmanuel Tessandier built Lescalle in 1875 and planted vines on the palus, the sandy alluvial clay beside the Garonne. He later served as mayor of Macau. The family bought Château Maucamps, in Macau, in 1954 and have added more estates since.

This wine is drawn mostly from the younger vines and the heavier clay plots at Lescalle.
