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.
The 2013 vintage of Château du Tertre now boasts a deep, brilliant ruby color. The nose opens with aromas of ripe red and black fruits, accompanied by hints of tobacco, licorice, and delicate flowers, supported by a pleasant aromatic freshness. On the palate, the wine is harmonious and accessible. Well-integrated tannins lend a supple texture, balanced by a still-present acidity. The well-defined fruit reveals aromas of jammy fruit and sweet spices. The finish is persistent and fresh, highlighting the liveliness of the vintage.
