Château du Tertre

Château du Tertre is much more than an 1855 Grand Cru Classé: it’s a place to live, to feel, to explore. An exceptional estate that combines history, elegance, nature… and the pleasure of taking your time.

An estate steeped in history, turned towards emotion

The history of Château du Tertre begins almost 1,000 years ago. As early as the 12th century, the seigneury of Arsac established itself on these lands, before passing into the hands of visionary families such as the Ségur or Pierre Mitchell, a pioneer in the manufacture of glass bottles.

The estate became structured, evolved, and achieved international recognition in 1855 when it became Grand Cru Classé. After many passionate owners, a major turning point came in 1997 with the arrival of Éric and Marie-Louise Albada Jelgersma, who breathed new energy into the estate, opening a modern chapter where tradition and innovation come together.

Today, its 52 hectares of vines remain virtually unchanged, bathed in the golden light of the Médoc as they were then.

An immersion in the heart of the terroir

A visit to Château du Tertre means immersing yourself in the soul of the Médoc. On the programme: discover the architecture, take a stroll through the private garden, get up close and personal with the vines and cellars, and taste the two emblematic cuvées: Les Hauts du Tertre and Château du Tertre.

Each stage of the tour reveals the discreet refinement of the estate and the expertise that has spanned the centuries. Far from staging, here we share a sincere passion for wine, time and place.

Stay in a haven of peace

What if you stayed a little longer? Château du Tertre also offers unique guest rooms, nestled in the heart of the vineyard. Decorated by the talented Axel Vervoordt, they offer uninterrupted views of the vines and a soothing atmosphere, imbued with softness and light.

It’s an invitation to slow down, savour breakfast in the majestic dining room, stroll in the gardens, contemplate the landscape… quite simply to reconnect with what’s essential.
