Critic reviews
"The 2025 Château du Tertre, a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc and 6% Petit Verdot (40% new oak), reveals a bouquet of dark wild berries and spice along with discreet, well-integrated oak. Medium- to full-bodied, fleshy and dense, it's also structured with elegant, youthful tannins and concludes with a long, ethereal and dark fruit–inflected finish."

"The 2025 Château du Tertre was picked 8 to 22 September and matured in 40% new oak. It is cohesive and focused on the nose, plenty of graphite-infused black fruit that nudges it stylistically towards Pauillac. Fine delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with, again, quite a Pauillac-like entry thanks to that graphite edge. Well defined with satisfying length, this is a classy du Tertre, one of the best I have tasted from barrel."

"The 2025 du Tertre is powerful and quite dense, but also shows more finesse than I have seen in some time. Floral overtones immediately convey elegance. Hints of blue-toned fruit, lavender, spice and sage develop over time. Polished, supple contours frame it all effortlessly. Tasted two times."
Antonio Galloni, April 2026, Vinous.com
"The texture and depth are really impressive for this chateau and might be its best wine ever. It’s medium-bodied with integrated and refined tannins, a powdery and textured mouthfeel and an endless finish. Floating on the pure fruit. 65% cabernet sauvignon, 18% merlot, 11% cabernet franc and 6% petit verdot. "

"Ripe red fruit and exotic spiced notes on the nose. Juicy, succulent and clean, this has great energy and such well integrated tannins so that they give the frame and structure but very lightly letting the raspberry and red cherry fruit speak as well as a soft wet stone and flint touches. Refined and elegant and really approachable too. I like this a lot. One to watch. 3.58pH. 70 IPT. 75% of grand vin. Ageing 40% new oak, 60% one-year-old barrels."

"(Margaux; 65% Cabernet Sauvignon; 18% Merlot; 11% Cabernet Franc; 6% Petit Verdot; a final yield of 30.2 hl/ha; pH 3.58; IPT 70; 13.2% alcohol). This is ethereal - staggeringly pure and lifted, aerial and luminous. It showcases the Cabernet fruit of the estate so brilliantly. This is one of the most vibrant, vivid and dynamic wines of the entire Médoc in this vintage and that speaks volumes to the work that has been done in the vineyard here is recent years. A study in purity and a study in Margaux terroir too, I'm in raptures. I have never tasted better from here."
