BBR: The charming Alexander van Beek has made yet another classic wine at Ch. du Tertre. Soft, light and pretty, this is an elegant Margaux with a rich, silky red fruit nose and beautiful pure fruit on the palate. Very fine-grained, almost powdery tannins add to this neat little package which has been made from the lowest yields for ten years (28hl/ha); a quaffable little beauty.

JR: 16/20 Toasty, mildly cocoa nose. Very pretty texture – not forced. Reminds of du Tertre’s style. Neat. Complete, but a bit forward. Very slightly rasping tannins on the finish.

Jeff Leve in 2018: 92/100 A blend of dark and deep red cherries is at the wines core. The tannins, are soft, the fruit is bright, crisp, fresh and peppery. Give it a few more years and this beauty will be even better.
