2006 Ch. du Tertre, Margaux

Ch. du Tertre always offers good value for money and the 2006 vintage is no exception. It has a lovely expressive nose with sweet red fruits combining with violet notes. The palate has structured, yet very fine grained tannins, and pure, crunchy red fruit flavours.
(Matthew Tipping, BBR Fine Wine Specialist, Oct 2008)

From one of the real up-and-coming estates in Bordeaux, Du Tertre's 2006 is a lovely silky wine. Gently perfumed, with bright yet creamy red fruit and a very elegant palate, the tannins here are so supple that you might almost think you were drinking Burgundy rather than Bordeaux. It is as feminine as ever with a lovely explosion of fruit on the palate. It has a generosity and attractiveness that is not frequently found in 2006.This will make delicious and extremely sophisticated drinking.
(Simon Staples, BBR Fine Wine Director, June 2007)

Fifth growth Margaux, Château du Tertre, has for the past decade been part of the Dutch-owned Château Giscours empire, complete with a state-of-the-art winery and chic dove-grey designer interior. Looking the part counts for naught if wine quality has lagged behind, and it has, but anyone celebrating Christmas with this elegant, cabernet franc-fragrant, beefy, green peppercorn-studded claret will have a lovely time.
