2020 Château du Tertre, Margaux, Bordeaux

Description

Cabernet Sauvignon 47%, Merlot 24%, Cabernet Franc 21%, Petit Verdot 8%

Du Tertre was sold to new owners in January 2021; this wine was made by the old team, headed by Alexander Van Beek (now focusing entirely on Ch. Giscours). Frédéric Ardouin, once of Ch. Latour, has stayed on, taking up the reins. He considers this one of the château’s best-ever vintages. The yield (25 hl/ha) is the lowest since the frost-hit 1991. This has given great concentration and helped these sandier soils to overcome the drought. Floral
yet tightly wound, this is an elegant and composed expression of Margaux – a great achievement.

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.
