Hauts du Tertre - Margaux 2022
Château du Tertre, a timeless elegance
Château du Tertre is located on one of the highest gravel ridges in the Médoc. Its history began in the 18th century with Pierre Mitchell, an Irish merchant who fell in love with the Bordeaux region and its wines. As the founder of Bordeaux's first glassworks, he fulfilled one of his dearest dreams by creating his own vineyard estate. Other famous families followed in his footsteps, including the Albada Jelgersma family, who purchased the estate in 1997 and made significant investments to allow this Grand Cru Classé of 1855 to express all of its elegance.
In March 2021, the Helfrich family took over to write a new chapter in the history of Château du Tertre. The family shares the same quest of excellence, which is a tradition in motion.
Les Hauts du Tertre is the second wine of the estate. Benefiting from the same standards as its older sibling, it comes from a parcel selection of the younger vines.
The 2022 vintage
This second wine is characterised by its juicy, rich fruit and its full, supple texture. The 2022 vintage has provided remarkable density and tension to this plot selection, perhaps more than in any other vintage. The dominance of Cabernet Sauvignon in this blend makes this wine a true representation of our property.
