Area under vine at the estate, from its technical sheet — it does not change from one vintage to the next. Each vintage’s blend, by contrast, departs from it: that figures on its own page.

Footprint, parcels and their split are measured on the Compagnie Médocaine’s own parcel survey; elevation, slope and aspect on the Mapbox terrain-rgb digital terrain model, derived from IGN’s RGE ALTI over France. Compare with the blend on the technical sheet, at the top of the page: the two answer different questions.
It was in the 19th century that the wines of Château du Tertre gained worldwide renown, notably through the 1855 classification, which made Château du Tertre a Grand Cru Classé of Margaux.
These are the terroirs of Margaux at their highest point, and one of the highest gravel rises in the Médoc. The light and sunshine that bathe the vines protect them from late spring frosts. A stream acting as natural drainage separates the two rises. From it the vine draws the freshness essential to its development, sheltered from excess water as much as from drought.
Alcohol, yield and vine age are those of the 2025 vintage; they vary from year to year. Only the area above stays stable from one vintage to the next.
| Vintage | Best score | Vintage character | Technical sheet |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 93-95 Jeb Dunnuck | A dry, bright summer, tempered by cool nights, gave pure, balanced wines, more classic than sun-drenched. | fiche · PDF |
| 2024 | 93 James Suckling | A rainy spring and a difficult flowering reduced the crop; the dry October saved fine, light, easy-drinking wines. | fiche · PDF |
| 2023 | 95 James Suckling | July mildew followed by a hot September demanded strict selection: fleshy, aromatic wines, more approachable than 2022. | — |
| 2022 | 96 Wine Enthusiast | Three heatwaves and extreme drought gave, against all odds, wines of exceptional concentration without harshness — the great sun-drenched year. | PDF français |
| 2012 | — | A late cycle closing with rain gave an uneven vintage: the cabernets hold up, the merlots remain taut. | fiche · PDF |
| 2011 | — | A scorching spring followed by a wet August turned the seasons upside down: classic wines, shorter but true to type. | fiche · PDF |
| 2010 | — | A dry summer and cool nights concentrated small berries: a benchmark vintage, with dense tannins and a thirty-year aging potential. | fiche · PDF |
