Description
This Château du Tertre is made from a blend of the following grapes: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. On the nose beautiful black fruit aromas. All in all this Château du Tertre delivers elegance, juiciness, freshness, a fruity character and soft tannins. Excellent structure. The combination of the grapes makes for a great wine: the Merlot brings roundness and softness in the mouth, the Cabernet Franc from the oldest vines offers gluttony, the Cabernet Sauvignon offers finesse and elegance that is necessary to reflect the style of the Château du Tertre. And don't forget the Petit Verdot, which complements the personality of this wine nicely. This great (and still affordable) Margaux) has been awarded a James Suckling score of 96 and has a drinking window until 2050.

The 2022 du Tertre has realized the potential it showed from barrel, offering up complex aromas of cassis, plums, pencil shavings and violets, followed by a medium to full-bodied, layered and velvety palate that's rich and textural, with lively acids, powdery tannins and a long, delicately minty finish. It's an unusual blend of 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Cabernet Franc, 15% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot, which no doubt contributes to its singular style.

This is really clear and bright. Medium- to full-bodied with a solid tannin structure. Tight layers of phenolics to this. Racy and long finish. Firm and focused. 57% cabernet sauvignon, 23% cabernet franc, 15% merlot and 5% petit verdot.

From: 2022 Bordeaux in Bottle: Living in the Present (Jan 2025)
The 2022 du Tertre is a rich, dense wine. Inky dark blue/purplish fruit, lavender, licorice and sweet spice all meld together. This is an especially open-knit Margaux, particularly considering Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc drive the blend.

From: 2022 Bordeaux En Primeur: Balance Imbalance (May 2023)
The 2022 du Tertre is packed with inky black fruit, gravel, incense, tobacco, licorice and chocolate. Opulent and intense to the core, the 2022 packs a serious punch. That comes through in tannins that are also pretty imposing.

The 2022 Chateau du Tertre has an attractive bouquet with blackcurrant, bilberry and pastille-like purity. It opens nicely in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins on the entry, sous-bois and cedar aromas. It's linear toward the finish with moderate length. Maybe just a little conservative now, but I admire that correctness. It's Bordeaux, after all!

A big, raw, exuberant, incredibly promising barrel sample, the 2022 Château Du Tertre reveals a vivid purple hue as well as full-bodied aromas and flavors of crème de cassis, spring flowers, and graphite. A blend of 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Merlot and Petit Verdot, this terrific Margaux has fine tannins, beautiful balance, and a great finish. The cellar will be your friend here.

Intense and bedded down, plenty of intent in these tannins, high intensity with liquorice, cocoa bean, slate, blackcurrant and bilberry fruit. Closed in right now, needs to soften over ageing. New owners for the past few years, the Helfrich family, and there are plenty of investments happening at du Tertre right now. 60% new oak.

Deep dark ruby, opaque core, purple reflections, brightening on the rim. Fresh dark wild berries, red cherries, candied orange zest, inviting bouquet. Juicy, elegant, fresh cherries, nice fruit, good freshness. Lingers long, a balanced food wine with good ageing potential.

The 2022 du Tertre is deep garnet-purple in color. It needs some coaxing to bring out notes of plum preserves, warm cassis, and raspberry coulis, plus touches of garrigue and fragrant earth. The medium-bodied palate has impressive poise, with expressive black fruit and a soft texture, finishing with a lively lift.

Château du Tertre is located in the French town of Arsac, which is part of the department of Gironde. Château du Tertre is located in the highest part of the wine town of Margaux with the most refined gravel strata of the Médoc. The vines cover themselves in the light and the sun and protect them against the late frost in the spring. A vapor provides natural drainage, separates the 2 gravel layers and cools the vines. This lowers the temperature of the vines which is vital for development and protects them from both excess water and drought. Cabernet Sauvignon is the main grape variety of this winery. Furthermore, we work with the types Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.
The Château du Tertre is an estate of about 1000 years old. The associated vineyard extends over 52 hectares, and has remained unchanged since 1855. During the 19th century, Château du Tertre gained worldwide fame mainly thanks to the classification from 1855 that awarded the châteu de Margaux Grand Cru Class. In 1997, Dutch businessman Eric Albada Jelgersma bought the estate and invested in a large-scale general restructuring, returning the former noble personality to the Château du Tertre. The wines of Château du Tertre reflect the soul of that beautiful terroir.
