Château du Tertre Margaux 2016

Château du Tertre is a thousand-year-old estate whose vineyard, stretching over 52 hectares, has remained unchanged since 1855. During the 19th Century, the Château de Tertre wines rose to worldwide fame, especially thanks to the 1855 classification which established du Tertre as a Margaux Grand Cru Classe and a Fifth Growth. 1n 1997, a Dutch businessman, Eric Albada Jelgersma bought the estate and invested in a large-scale restructuring, thus returning its former noble personality to the Château and its vineyards. Cabernet Sauvignon is the major grape variety, endowing the wine with structure and concentration. Renowned for its roundness and suppleness, Merlot brings its silkiness to the final blending. Cabernet Franc lends its distinctive, rich bouquet of spicy notes. Later to mature, the Petit Verdot completes this range of aromas. Thus is born the Château du Tertre Grand Vin, reflecting the very soul of this exceptional terroir. Château du Tertre is also the sister property of the illustrious Château Giscours. Look for great ripeness and flavor. Silky and freshness are combined in this bottling to bring you the elegance expected of a great Margaux wine. The aging potential is between 8 and 20 years or even more for the most exceptional vintages.
