Red wine | 5th Cru Classé, Margaux AC

Cabernet Sauvignon, which makes up the majority of the vineyard, brings structure and concentration. Renowned for its roundness and suppleness, Merlot adds silkiness to the final blend. Cabernet Franc stands out with its rich bouquet of spicy notes. Finally, the late-ripening Petit Verdot completes the aromatic palette. Thus is born the Grand Vin de Château du Tertre, reflecting the very soul of its exceptional terroir...

James Suckling Extremely deep and ripe on the nose with dried-berry, chocolate and plum aromas that follow through to a full body, round and soft tannins and a flavorful finish. A rich and soft-tannin structure to the wine. Try after 2024. January 2019.

Wine Enthusiast Partnered with Château Giscours as far as the winemaking team is concerned, this estate has created its own style. This wine shows a hint of initial austerity before opening out with rich fruits and structure. It needs time and the wine will not be ready to drink before 2025. Roger Voss. Janvier 2019.

Yves Beck Nuances de baies noires dans le bouquet de Tertre 2016 qui révèle également des notes de graphite et d’épices. Bonne densité en bouche où le vin affiche un équilibre convaincant entre des tannins compacts et fins ainsi qu’une structure rafraîchissante. Un du Tertre très convaincant ; il est en début de carrière. Maintenant – 2040. Février 2025.

Decanter Powerful, intense and concentrated, those tannins are big in quantity and quality. This is a sombre, intellectual wine in the way that many 2016s are. It has a good texture of silky black fruits through the palate, suggesting this will age well, while a white pepper crescendo gives a spicy kick on the finish. 5% Petit Verdot completes the blend, with the wine aged in 50% new oak. Drinking window: 2024 - 2040. Jane Anson. October 2018.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate The 2016 Du Tertre is a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot picked from 27 September until 19 October. Estate manager Alexandre van Peek told me that this represents one of the highest levels of Cabernet Sauvignon in recent years. Matured in 35% new oak, it has a harmonious bouquet with pure blackberry, raspberry and mineral scents that are neat and well defined. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannin, quite saline on the entry, understated at first, but gaining weight in the mouth and delivering a precise and minerally, classic Margaux finish. All it's missing is the persistence on the finish. It just seems to rush out the exit door before you've really gotten to know it. Hopefully it will develop that side during barrel maturation. Drinking window: 2021 - 2045. Neal Martin. April 2017.

Jean-Marc Quarin Couleur sombre, d’intensité normale. Nez moyennement aromatique, au fruité mûr et ouvert. Note de cèdre. Délicat à l’attaque, élancé au développement, très fruité et savoureux, le vin manque quand même de gras en milieu de bouche. Il s’achève sur une longueur moyenne. Février 2019.
