Chateau Du Tertre

Les Hauts Du Tertre

Château du Tertre has its vineyards on the Le Grand Poujeau, a large plateau in the south-west of the Margaux commune, some 20 metres above sea level. It’s gravelly and pebbly, ideal for Cabernet Sauvignon (45% of plantings), while Merlot and Cabernet Franc thrive there too. The Hauts du Tertre is a forward and positive wine, vibrant and approachable, giving up its wonders without any real struggle; a relief for those whose memory of good claret involves having to battle for its brilliance. 92 / Decanter "Full of a late summer evening feel, where the sense of exuberance fits the sheer languid sexiness of the thing. This has smoky oak, rich blueberries and charcoal. The ripe fruit is not precise so much as enticing; it's an unhurried and extremely beguiling wine. Drinking Window 2023 - 2038."
