2012 Château du Tertre, Margaux, Bordeaux

Description

Rich, ripe, fresh red fruits abound in this utter gem of a wine and it is the lively and expressive Cabernet Franc that gives Ch. du Tertre its charm. I've just finished a case of my 2001 and am tucking into my 2002, which is drinking so well now. 2012 will be better than these two delightful vintages and hints are that it will be exceptional value this year too. I wouldn't bother with Magnums or other larger formats, just add a few cases of bottles to be enjoyed in 3 or 4 years. Scrumptious!

Margaux

Margaux

If Pauillac is the bastion of ‘traditional’ Red Bordeaux, Margaux represents its other facet in producing wines that are some of the region’s most sensual and alluring. The largest commune in the Médoc, it encompasses the communes of Cantenac, Soussans, Arsac and Labaude, in addition to the village of Margaux itself. Its finest examples are paragons of refinement and subtlety which have few parallels in Bordeaux.
