The second wine of the Grand Cru Classé Château du Tertre, Les Hauts du Tertre follows the same spirit as the Grand Vin with whom it shares the terroir.

The essence of Les Hauts du Tertre 2018 is mainly carried by the Cabernet Franc that delivers subtly fruity and fresh spicy notes. The palate offers a wonderful acidity that gives lift, energy and a long finish.
Les Hauts du Tertre ferments in wood, concrete and stainless steel tanks. Maceration lasts 28 days. The wine ages for 12 months in barrel.
Château du Tertre has existed since the 12th century, and its vineyard of 52 hectares remains unchanged since 1855, when it was classified a 5th Growth Grand Cru Classé de Margaux.
