2003 Château du Tertre, Margaux, Bordeaux

Description

Another contender for the least-known Classed Growth in the Médoc, if this rejuvenated estate carries on making wines like its outstanding 2003, that situation will certainly change. A fabulous nose of intensely floral cassis and dried fruits bears none of the stewed fruit found in many other southern Médoc wines. On the palate generous helpings of blackberries and cream, combine with elegant Margaux femininity to stunning effect. Made from 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, this treasure of a wine surpasses the quality of their 2000 and offers excellent value too.

Critics reviews

Robert Parker 87/100
Margaux was not one of the more favored appellations, although some top 2003s were made there. Du Tertres fully mature 2003 displays chocolaty, herbal, fig and black currant notes, excellent density, elegance and freshness. However, it needs to be drunk up over the next several years.
Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (Aug 2014)

About this wine

Margaux

Margaux

If Pauillac is the bastion of ‘traditional’ Red Bordeaux, Margaux represents its other facet in producing wines that are some of the region’s most sensual and alluring. The largest commune in the Médoc, it encompasses the communes of Cantenac, Soussans, Arsac and Labaude, in addition to the village of Margaux itself. Its finest examples are paragons of refinement and subtlety which have few parallels in Bordeaux.
