Significant investments and improvements have been made, including the building of a new cuvier in 1999 which contains new temperature-controlled vats. The vineyards are some of the highest in Margaux at 27 meters above sea level which is where its name comes from as Tertre means knoll. The 52 hectares of vineyards are planted with 40 Cabernet Sauvignon, 35 Merlot, 20 Cabernet Franc and 5 Petit Verdot. The average age of the vines is 35 years. Annual production from the château is approximately 200,000 bottles.

Château du Tertre--Vintage 2000
Margaux, 5me cru classé
Tating Note: A dense purple colour is followed by layers of concentrated blackberry fruit intertwined with damp earth, mushroom, and sweet, toasty barrique smells. With ripe tannin, medium to full body, a layered texture, and a concentrated, impressively endowed finish, this is the finest Du Tertre since their 1979. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 146, April 2003.
