Fifth Growth. Cinquieme Grand Cru Classe in 1855.

Critic tasting note: (2016 vintage) "Flowers, spicy red berries and forest notes are in your glass as soon as the wine hits the glass. Medium bodied, elegant, fresh and dynamic, the wine is silky, sweet, juicy and pure from start to finish. 92 Points" - 92/100, Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider.

Producer Notes
The Château du Tertre dominates the vineyard, which enjoys a superb position, lying unbroken over 52 hectares. Cabernet Sauvignon is the major grape variety, endowing the wine with structure and concentration. Renowned for its roundness and suppleness, Merlot brings its silkiness to the final blending. Cabernet Franc lends its distinctive, rich bouquet of spicy notes. Later to mature, the Petit Verdot completes this range of aromas. Thus is born the Château du Tertre Grand Vin, reflecting the very soul of this exceptional terroir.

Vineyard Notes

The Margaux terroirs are there highest, with one of the most elevated gravel outcrops of the Médoc. The light and the sunshine wich bathe the vines protect them from the late spring frosts. A stream provides natural drainage, separating the two gravels outcrops, and cools the vines, thus giving them the cooler temperatures vital for thier development, protecting them both from excess water and drought.
