Estate

Chateau du Tertre was created in the 18th century by an important Irish negociant, Pierre Mitchell, who had fallen in love with the Bordeaux region and its wines. The founder of the first glassworks in Bordeaux, this refined, innovative man realized one of his fondest dreams by establishing his own fine wine estate. Others famous families followed in his footsteps during the XIX century. The quality of the wine was such that it was included among the great growths of Margaux in the 1855 classification. Eric Albada Jelgersma acquired the estate in 1997. Thanks to major investments and careful management, Chateau du Tertre now expresses its intrinsically elegant personality year after year.

Tasting notes

"Second wine of the Grand Cru Classé Château du Tertre, Les Hauts du Tertre remains faithful to the spirit of the Grand Vin whose terroir it shares. Attractive, 2020 is based on a classic balance for this cru, with almost equal proportions of the four grape varieties, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Les Hauts du Tertre comes from plot selections planted over the last ten years and selected for their outstanding organoleptic qualities. 2020, combines elegance, finesse and freshness with a gourmet finish. Partly matured in new barrels, it brings the expected complexity." - James Suckling
