<p><strong>The vineyard</strong></p>
<p>Château du Terte reigns over a beautiful 45-hectare vineyard located in the Margaux appellation, of which 41 are used for production. The sandy-clay gravel soils of this exceptional terroir prevent excessive water stress during hot and dry months by ensuring a constant availability of water.</p>

<p>Manual and optical sorting. Wood, concrete and stainless steel tanks. Maceration for 21 days at 24°C. Ageing lasts for 12 months in French oak barrels (of which 40% are new wood).</p>
<p><strong>Blend</strong></p>
<p>The 2021 Château du Tertre is made of a blend of <a href="https://www.millesima.co.uk/cabernet-sauvignon.html"><strong><u>Cabernet Sauvignon</u></strong></a>, <a href="https://www.millesima.co.uk/merlot.html"><strong><u>Merlot</u></strong></a>, <a href="https://www.millesima.co.uk/cabernet-franc.html"><strong><u>Cabernet Franc</u></strong></a>, <strong>Petit Verdot</strong>.</p>
