Château du Tertre 2016 opens with deep blackcurrant and plum fruit edged by cocoa, dried herbs and gentle spice, carried on a sleek, medium-bodied frame. The tannins are polished yet still firm, giving definition to the dark berry core and a long, tobacco-tinged finish that shows both freshness and structure. This vintage is notably concentrated and still youthful, built for graceful evolution rather than immediate showiness.

Château du Tertre is the estate’s Grand Vin, a Cabernet-Sauvignon–led Bordeaux blend from one of the highest gravel ridges in Margaux, classified as a Cinquième Grand Cru Classé in 1855. Typically medium to full-bodied and refined rather than massive, it is known for its elegant blackcurrant and floral character, supple tannins, and a distinctly fresh, saline, mineral edge that reflects its classic Médoc gravel terroir.
