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.

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.
