18 Rene Gabriel
Dunkles Granat, recht satt in der Mitte, rubiner Rand. Rahmiges Bouquet, viel rote Kirschen, eine reife Frucht generell zeigend und tendenziell leicht laktisch im Hintergrund. Im Gaumen stoffig, samtig mit einer burgundischen Fülle, superb balanciert. In 10 Jahren garantiert hemmungslosen Genuss bietend.
92 Robert Parker
The medium garnet colored 2009 du Tertre conjures notions of kirsch, black raspberries, warm plums and potpourri on the nose with hints of sage and menthol. The palate is medium-bodied, soft, juicy and seductively approachable with a lively finish.
91 Wine Spectator
Quite perfumy at first, with lilac, damson plum and singed bay leaf notes up front, followed by darker yet still caressing steeped black cherry, worn leather and espresso notes on the back end. Best from 2013 through 2023. 12,500 cases made. –JM

Château du Tertre
Perhaps one of the most overlooked Classified Growths in Margaux, Château du Tertre has remained true to their historic roots. Stretching over 52-hectares, the thousand-year-old estate sits amongst the highest Margaux terroirs, with the most elevated gravel land in Médoc planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and smaller amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Quite recently, the 1855 Classified château was acquired by a Dutch businessman, Eric Albada Jelgersma in 1997. After thoroughly investing in the winery and vineyards, Château du Tertre has consistently produced one of the most perfumed Margaux reds, some even rival its similarly owned sister winery, Château Giscours. The estate’s Grand Vin, Du Tertre has quite a great vocation for ageing, building in complexity with each year of cellaring. As an elegant blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, the flagship is an excellent reflection of this château’s exceptional terroir.
