Clothed in an intense ruby color, the second wine of Château du Tertre expresses intense aromas of black fruits and sweet spices on the nose, which are also found on the palate. With a silky texture and mellow tannins, this is a charming and elegant wine. Very successful! Delivery in wooden cases for orders of 12 bottles of this wine.

Rated estate (2017 guide) 3 stars (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)

About the estate:

Somewhat isolated but situated on a splendid ridge of siliceous gravel, Château du Tertre has been magnificently restored and renovated by its Dutch owner, Eric Albada Jelgersma. Its aromatic character, very fresh and elegant, owes much to the proportion of excellent Cabernet Franc in the blend. Excellent value for money.

Rated estate (2017 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing good wines; you won't be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)

About the estate:

Under the leadership of Alexander Van Beck, its director, Château du Tertre has established itself as one of Margaux's sure bets. After its purchase by Eric Albada Jelgersma, the estate underwent a profound transformation and modernization. Lower yields and significant investment have resulted in a full-bodied, lively wine that fully justifies its classification. The latest vintages have been particularly successful, with a consistently straightforward style that is sometimes a little austere but ages well, thanks to a significant proportion of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc in the blend.
