1979 | Du Tertre | Margaux

Bright red with a garnet-tinged rim. Sexy, clean aromas of floral red berries and red cherry complemented by exotic oak, milk chocolate and herbs. Rich, broad and full in the mouth, with a very sweet, almost syrupy flavor of blackberry complicated by hints of coffee, milk chocolate and sweet spices. Finishes with substantial creamy tannins and impressive length.

Reviews:

• Wine Cellar: Bright red with a garnet-tinged rim. Sexy, clean aromas of floral red berries and red cherry complemented by exotic oak, milk chocolate and herbs. Rich, broad and full in the mouth, with a very sweet, almost syrupy flavor of blackberry complicated by hints of coffee, milk chocolate and sweet spices. Finishes with substantial creamy tannins and impressive length.

• John Gilman: The bouquet is deep, complex and refined, jumping from the glass in a mélange of sweet cassis, berries, cigar box, new leather, Margaux earth tones and a spicy topnote redolent of curry. On the palate the wine is fullish, focused and deep to the core, with beautiful balance, melting tannins, sound acids, and lovely length and grip on the classy finish.

Producer Information

Château du Tertre is an estate located in Margaux in the "Left-Bank" Médoc region of northern Bordeaux, France. The château was classified as a fifth growth in the 1855 Classification of the Médoc and Graves and its 52 hectares (128 acres) of vineyards have been unchanged ever since. Both the grand vin and second wines are made from a blend of predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, with Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot playing second fiddle. It is one of the oldest properties in Bordeaux, dating back more than 1000 years.Château du Tertre sits on one of the highest geographical outcrops of the Médoc. It takes its name from this mound – "mound" being an English translation of "tertre". Here the soils are mostly gravel, which allows for excellent drainage as well some stress on the roots on the vines as they are forced to dig deeper for more nutrients and minerals.
