Château du Tertre
Margaux
5ième Grand Cru Classé
1,5
Red
Some frost damage resulted in less crop, so the blend this year is 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot. The estate is fully organic with 50% of the vineyards being farmed bio-dynamically. The wine has a good deep purple colour, sweet fruit on the nose, a sweet, attractive juicy fruit attack and nice spicy freshness on the palate. This is well-made and balanced with some interesting spicy elements in the finish.
