The 2019 du Tertre opens in the glass with aromas of sweet cassis and plums mingled with undergrowth, cedarwood, violets and subtle hints of cigar wrapper. Medium-bodied, bright and integrated, with a nicely concentrated core of fruit, lively acids and fine, powdery tannins that assert themselves on the finish, it delivers a certain generosity of fruit in a fine-boned package. Even if this numbers among the more powerful du Tertre vintages of recent years, it remains a wine defined by elegance more than impact. 2025 - 2050
A fantastic du Tertre with blackberries and blueberries. Very pure fruit character in general. Stone and tea undertones. It’s full-bodied with a tight, focused tannin backbone. Excellent structure. One of the best ever from here. So precise. A blend of 54% cabernet sauvignon, 27% merlot, 13% cabernet franc and 6% petit verdot.
Now owned by Crus et Domaines de France (Les Grands Chais). The château is run as a hotel. The previous owner, Alexander van Beek, is now just in charge of Ch Giscours.
Tasted blind. Not that deep a colour. Fragrant. Nicely balanced and sweetly fruity until a note of sharpness on the very end. Good balance in an early-maturing, proper Margaux. 13.5%
