In Arsac in the heart of the Margaux appellation, Château du Tertre overlooks a single holding vineyard of 52 hectares. The property, situated on one of the highest hills in the Médoc is composed of gravel, clay and sand. It was during the XIXth century that the wines acquired international renown, amplified by the 1855 classification which established the property as a 5th Growth.

The viticulture and vinification are carried out with the same high level of quality. Margaux by Tertre is mainly produced from the
young vines of Château du Tertre giving the wine a very fruity style, with a nice smoothness and roundness.

A good Shiraz for those who enjoy a wine with a dense mouthfeel.
