A Margaux wine with a seductive balance and aromatic richness
The estate
Chateau du Tertre is a 5th Cru Classe of Margaux located on the left bank of Bordeaux. Since its acquisition in late 1997 by Eric Albada Jelgersma, considerable investments have been made in order to bring out the best of this exceptional terroir with wines of very rare consistency. Since January 2021, Chateau du Tertre has been run by the Helfrich family, who manages the trading company Les Grands Chais de France.
The vineyard
Chateau du Tertre 2021 is a Margaux wine that stems from a 45-hectare vineyard, of which 41 hectares are used for production. The sandy-clay gravel soils of this exceptional terroir prevent excessive water stress during hot and dry months by ensuring a constant availability of water.
The blend
Chateau du Tertre 2021 comprises a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.
