Chateau du Tertre Margaux 2017

Made by the same team as Giscours, this wine reflects the same attention to detail. Ripe tannins give the wine its firm side while the structure is powerful and dense. Drink this wine from 2024.

91 Wine Spectator

Bright and breezy in feel, with damson plum and bitter cherry fruit laced with light savory and thyme notes. Gently persistent acidity shows on the finish.

91 James Suckling

A very aromatic red with spice, mushrooms and berries as well as plums. Medium body. Juicy finish. A blend of 75% cabernet sauvignon, 10% merlot, 10% cabernet franc and 5% petit verdot. Drink now or hold.

91 Jeb Dunnuck

The 2017 Chteau du Tertre is a beauty. Possessing plenty of red, black, and blue fruits, spicy oak, medium body and ripe tannin, its going to need short-term cellaring to let the oak integrate but has loads to love. While Margaux didnt hit the highs of Pauillac in the vintage, there are plenty of charming wines from this appellation.

91 Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

Medium garnet-purple colored and composed of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot, the 2017 du Tertre gives expressive notes of blackberries and cassis with pencil lead, bay leaves and lavender hints. The palate is medium-bodied with a good core of open-knit fruit and plush tannins lifted with great freshness, finishing on a perfumed note.
