CHATEAU DU TERTRE MARGAUX is a refined Bordeaux red wine from the prestigious Margaux appellation in France. It showcases a complex flavor profile with notes of ripe black fruits, earthy undertones, and subtle hints of spice, characteristic of the region's renowned terroir.
This wine pairs excellently with a variety of dishes including grilled lamb, beef tenderloin, and rich mushroom risotto. It also complements aged cheeses and dark chocolate desserts, enhancing the overall dining experience.
Spicy on the nose, with cinnamon, exotic spices, paprika and clove more than fruit at the moment. The palate is more lightly framed than some Margaux, more delicate with less overt texture and weight, but still quite high acidity so it comes across as a little less impactful, with a creamy milk chocolate, salty undercurrent. A little closed right now, although overall there's balance. Feels delicate and well worked, just not hugely forward and expressive at this stage.
Wafting from the glass with aromas of sweet berries, pencil shavings, warm spices and cocoa powder, the 2020 du Tertre is medium to full-bodied, supple and seamless, with an elegant, suave profile that belies good depth and concentration. This terroir is never going to produce the most powerful wine in Margaux, and it's the prime example of an estate that gets lost in a mass tasting, but the restructuring of its vineyards, almost complete, is clearly quietly bearing its fruit.
