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 2024 vintage
Château du Tertre 2024 is the product of a strict selection of the best lots from our finest terroirs. First impressions are of dark fruits, subtle smoke and notes of raw cocoa. The bouquet is sophisticated and complex. The palate is bold and dense, supported by an impressive acidity and great length. The nobility of the Cabernet Sauvignon provides a purity of fruit and a licorice freshness. The tannins, elegant and soft, are equally an expression of this blend in which each variety leaves its footprint.
