Description

France / Bordeaux / Médoc / Margaux

Château du Tertre is a winery over a thousand years old, whose 52-hectare, contiguous vineyard has remained unchanged since 1855. Awarded Grand Cru Classé Margaux, the Château benefits from its exceptionally good location. The vineyards are located at the highest point of the Margaux appellation on two "tertre" (hills). Both shape the Grand Vin. The light and sun that envelop the vines protect them from late spring frosts. A stream provides natural drainage and cools the vines, ensuring they receive the cooler temperatures necessary for their development and are protected from both too much water and drought. Unique, elegant, and generously fruity wines are produced from this magnificent terroir.

In Portrait:

Château du Tertre

Château du Tertre, a 5ème Grand Cru Classé in the 1855 classification, lies on the highest gravel ridges of Margaux and benefits from exceptionally well-drained soils. These gravelly-sandy rises over limestone allow deep-rooting vines and promote elegant, clearly structured wines with lively freshness. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot form harmonious cuvées with fine spice, precise fruit and typical Margaux finesse. The estate combines historic architecture with modern winemaking, with a focus on sustainable cultivation and particularly careful parcel work. The result is balanced, long-lived wines with elegant depth and unmistakable terroir expression.

Bordeaux

Origin in Focus

Bordeaux

Bordeaux is one of the world’s most renowned wine regions – a name that has stood for elegance, diversity and ageing potential for centuries. Gravel, clay and limestone soils alternate, allowing fine nuances in the wines that reflect both terroir and craftsmanship.

Bordeaux is typically known for blends in which grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc work together harmoniously.

Stylistically, red Bordeaux wines are defined by a balance of fruit, structure and freshness. The white wines – usually made from Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and sometimes Muscadelle – range from crisp and citrus-driven to creamy and complex.
