The wines The identity of the wines
of Château Du Tertre

At Margaux, Cabernet Sauvignon dominates but is not exclusive. At Château Du Tertre, the grape varieties express the terroir and comprise four pillars: Cabernet Sauvignon in the majority, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.

Each grape variety expresses itself like an orchestral symphony, offering tasters a wine as melodious as it is harmonious.

Cabernet Sauvignon reigns supreme in the wines of the Margaux appellation. The main structure of Château Du Tertre wines, it is responsible for all their freshness and silky, enveloping tannins. As it ages, it gains in complexity, giving the wine longevity.

Renowned for its volume, roundness and suppleness, Merlot flourishes in the clay soils reserved for it. Opening the harvest, its silky, fruity notes add smoothness to Château Du Tertre’s signature wine.

Complementing Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, Cabernet Franc brings the balance essential to its structure, and stands out for its freshness and liveliness. Its remarkable finesse offers elegant aromatic length.

Finally, Petit Verdot harmonizes this aromatic palette, its spicy notes, tannic structure and aromatic power giving the wine all its subtlety.

The vineyard’s respect for the terroir and the expression of its parcels reveal another red wine: Les Hauts du Tertre.

Produced with the same precision, passion and know-how as Château Du Tertre, it’s the tastings during vinification that determine the decisions. In viticulture, nothing is ever set in stone, just as vintages are.

Les Hauts du Tertre reveals another facet of the estate, that of a wine to be discovered and appreciated in its younger years. Lively, with silky tannins, its fruity, spicy notes combine with the delicacy of Margaux wines.
