Du Tertre Blanc - Vin de France 2024
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.
The white wine of Château du Tertre is an original blend of Gros Manseng, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier.
The 2024 vintage
Tertre Blanc 2024 showcases a vibrant aromatic profile, primarily driven by Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier. It reveals delicate floral notes of lilac and jasmine, intertwined with fresh pear and peach fruits. On the palate, the wine offers richness and elegance typical of Chardonnay, beautifully balanced by a bright acidity that reflects the character of the vintage. The finish distinguishes itself with a subtle saline note, a signature of Tertre Blanc, imparted by our Gros Manseng.
