2019 Chateau du Tertre Margaux

Located at around 3 miles from 1st Growth Château Margaux, you'll find an enchanting (not so little) estate called Chateau du Tertre.

The estate is made up of 128 acres that remains unchanged since 1855. During the 19th Century, the Chateau de Tertre wines rose to worldwide fame, especially thanks to the 1855 classification which established the Chateau as a Margaux Grand Cru Classe (5th Growth). 

Currently owned by the Dutch businessman, Eric Albada Jelgersma. As its name says, this Château is situated on a “Tertre” or hillock. Château du Tertre has a team of oenologists, agronomists, and workers highly committed to the quality of the wine, from the field to the cellar. Known as “The beautiful Tertre d’Arsac” by 19th-century writers, this Châteaux has a spectacular terroir with one of the most elevated gravel outcrops of the Medoc region. You can visit this beautiful place and immerse yourself in the traditional 16th-century culture. They also have a second wine called Les Hauts du Tertre, a wine made from younger vines but with the same style as the Château du Tertre.

 Château du Tertre wines are some of the best value Margaux you'll ever come across. The 2019 vintage from this estate was outstanding and was blessed with a 94-point review from Decanter and James Suckling. This wine is spectacular. 

Aging: 12 months in French oak barrels, 30% new and 70% 1-year-old barrels.
