In the 12th century, traces of this Château can already be found in the Archives of the Arsac seigneury, owned by the de Montaigne family, the famous French writer and Mayor of Bordeaux in the 16th century.
It borders Châteaux Cantenac-Brown and Brane-Cantenac to the north and Château Giscours to the east. It is situated on one of the Médoc's highest gravelly hilltops, from which it takes its name. Its vineyard is remarkable for two reasons: it's in one piece and it faces due south.
It's a fifth Grand Cru Classé following the prestigious 1855 list.
Varietal composition: Cabernet Sauvignon: 45, Merlot 30%, Cabernet Franc 20% and 5% Petit Verdot.
The grapes are harvested entirely by hand, and annual production is in the order of 255 barrels, or around 300,000 bottles.
50% of the wine is aged in new barrels for an average of 18 months, depending on the typicity of the harvest.
As Château du Tertre’s second wine, Les Hauts du Tertre 2025 faithfully reflects the elegance and refinement characteristic of the great terroirs of Margaux. Produced from a precise plot selection and careful winemaking, this vintage fully benefits from the sunny conditions of 2025, while retaining remarkable freshness thanks to the meticulous work carried out in the vineyard.
On the palate, the wine displays a brilliant color with deep ruby highlights. The nose is immediately charming, driven by aromas of crisp red fruits such as raspberry, cherry, and redcurrant, accompanied by delicate floral notes and a slight hint of spice. On the palate, the attack is supple and luscious, revealing a harmonious and approachable texture. The refined, silky tannins provide structure and elegance without ever overpowering the fruit. The wine captivates with its balance of freshness, roundness, and aromatic precision. The delicate, lingering finish extends the fruity notes with great finesse.
A seductive and refined Hauts du Tertre 2025, which perfectly captures the charm and suppleness of Margaux wines in an accessible and elegant style.
Harvested from September 8 to 22.
