Omschrijving
Deze Château du Tertre is gemaakt van een blend van de volgende druiven: 64%Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc en 6% Petit Verdot. Op de neus mooie zwart fruit aroma's. Al met al levert deze Château du Tertre elegantie, sappigheid, frisheid, een fruitig karakter en zachte tanines. Uitstekende structuur. De combinatie van de druiven zorgt voor een geweldige wijn: de Merlot brengt rondheid en zachtheid in de mond, de Cabernet Franc van de oudste wijnstokken biedt gulzigheid, de Cabernet Sauvignon biedt finesse en elegantie die nodig is om de stijl van het Château du Tertre weer te geven. En vergeet vooral niet de Petit Verdot, die de persoonlijkheid van deze wijn mooi aanvult. Deze geweldige (en nog betaalbare) Margaux) heeft een James Suckling score van 93 gekregen en heeft een drinkvenster tot 2050.

The 2021 du Tertre is a very pretty, elegant wine, bursting with aromas of wild berries, exotic spices, cigar box and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, ample and seamless, it's velvety and enveloping, with bright acids, beautifully refined tannins and a mouthwatering finish. The blend this year is 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc, a mere 10% Merlot and 6% Petit Verdot.
Occupying the highest point in the Margaux appellation (a lofty 25 meters), Château du Tertre in fact encompasses not one "tertre" (high point) but two, possessing both a 30-hectare block on fine gravels situated around the château itself and another 20-hectare block, separated only by a stream, on the plateau of Bel-Air where the gravels are sandier. Both are comparatively homogeneous and both inform the grand vin; and both are comparatively warm, well-draining terroirs, meaning that the vegetative cycle at du Tertre is quite advanced, and that even if the team here don't precipitate to harvest, this certainly isn't a late-ripening site. In the aftermath of the devastating 1956 frost, the Gasqueton family replanted the entire vineyard (as at Calon-Ségur) at the rather low density of 6,300 vines per hectare, with one-third Cabernet Sauvignon, one-third Cabernet Franc and one-third Merlot—an idiosyncratic encépagement for Margaux and one that tended to deliver somewhat lighter, leaner wines in years where the Cabernet Franc didn't fully ripen. In 1997, the Gasquetons sold to the Albada family, who began by restoring the estate's much-neglected buildings and proceeded, from 2008, to restructure the vineyards. Chemical herbicides were banished and extensive replanting began, increasing density to 9,100 vines per hectare, and adapting grape varieties to soil type. With du Tertre's sale in early 2020, restructuring continues. Only 30% of the vineyard remains to be replanted, a project that's projected to conclude in 2027. All these new plantings have been farmed biodynamically from their inception, and while du Tertre retains some old-vine Merlot and Cabernet Franc, from which a massale selection is being propagated, the proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon has increased and Petit Verdot, which works well on the lower parts of the slope, represents around 10%. Winemaking is quite classical, with harvesting by hand, optical sorting and vinification in a mix of wooden, cement and stainless steel vats. Technical director Frédéric Ardouin, who conducted du Tertre's soil studies as a student in 2008, is at the helm in the winery, and Cynthia Capelaere is the new estate director. The style of wines produced here is quite singular: on the one hand distinctly elegant and fine-boned, but on the other displaying a certain generosity and sweetness of fruit (consistent with a well-exposed, well-drained, rather early-ripening site). The rather light style of yesteryear has been replaced by sneaky intensity of flavor and persistence. What's more, if du Tertre is operating in a similar stylistic register to some of the appellation's other champions of elegance, such as Brane Cantenac and Rauzan Ségla, its wines are also rather more immediate, with a youthful charm and seamlessness that means that even a classically styled vintage such as 2016 can already be drunk and not merely tasted. These are not the sort of wines that dominate in a mass tasting of more than 100 wines, but they are just the sort of wines that readers looking for harmonious, charming Margaux might want to have in their cellar.

2021 du Tertre
(90-92)
Drinking Window
2026 - 2050
From: Enticingly Fallible: Bordeaux 2021 En Primeur (May 2022)
The 2021 Château du Tertre was picked from September 28 until October 12 and aged in 50% new oak. It is quite bold on the nose, offering expressive blackberry, mint and cedar scents, almost Pauillac-like in style. Affording it a few minutes in the glass, it seems to gather momentum. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, concentrated black fruit, a little graphite toward the finish courtesy of the Cabernet Sauvignon, and quite a spicy aftertaste. This is a commendable 2021 that should age with style.

Giscours and his Italian property Montescudaio in Tuscany. The buyer was a French insurance company, but the estate is managed by Les Grands Chais de France. I tasted the 2021s with technical director Romain Beurienne and Cynthia Capelaere, as well as conducting a vertical that will appear in the future. Beurienne explained: “It was a difficult vintage because the beginning of spring was very cool with little rain, but during May and June it was wet with tropical temperatures. In June, we had 168mm of rain and a median temperature around 20°C, so there was great mildew pressure. We managed to fight the mildew with a lot of spray, using one chemical spray in the biodynamic part of the vineyard. There was no choice. It was hard work for the vineyard team. It was difficult to find a dry window. There were a lot of cloudy days in the summer; it was not sunny, which retarded growth of the vine in July and August. But September was good with a big diurnal temperature variation, cool and night with hot days, which helped the maturation of bunches. Without this month, it would have been a very average vintage. On the first weekend of October, they predicted 60mm of rain in Arsac, and we feared a large loss due to botrytis, so it was a hard decision to harvest later and wait for maturity. In one week, we gained a degree of potential alcohol and the phenolic ripeness changed completely. One parcel of Cabernet Franc was picked twice, a week apart, and the wines are totally different, richer and more concentrated.”
2020 du Tertre

2028 - 2045
From: 2020 Bordeaux En Primeur: Almost Back to Normal (Jun 2021)
The 2020 du Tertre is bold and punchy, with an enticing mix of inky dark fruit and more savory, earthy tones. All the elements are so nicely integrated. The tannins are a bit burly, as is often the case, and yet the 2020 appears to have enough fruit to provide at least some balance. Scorched earth, licorice, tobacco and game linger on the potent finish.

Wijnhuis
Château du Tertre is gelegen in het Franse plaatsje Arsac, welke deel uitmaakt van het departement Gironde. Château du Tertre ligt in het hoogste deel van de wijngemeente Margaux met de meest veredelde gravel aardlagen van de Médoc. De wijnstokken hullen zich in het licht en de zon en beschermen ze tegen de late vorst in het voorjaar. Een damp zorgt voor natuurlijke drainage, scheidt de 2 gravel aardlagen en koelt de wijnstokken. Hierdoor wordt de temperatuur van de wijnstokken lager wat vitaal is voor de ontwikkeling en hen beschermd voor zowel overtollig water en droogte. Cabernet Sauvignon is de belangrijkste druivensoort van dit wijnhuis. Verder wordt er gewerkt met de soorten Merlot, Cabernet Franc en Petit Verdot.
Het Château du Tertre is een landgoed van ongeveer 1000 jaar oud. De bijbehorende wijngaard strekt zich uit over 52 hectare, en is sinds 1855 onveranderd gebleven. Tijdens de 19e eeuw, kreeg Château du Tertre wereldwijde bekendheid vooral dankzij de classificatie uit 1855 waarbij aan het châteu de Margaux Grand Cru Klasse werd toegekend. In 1997, kocht de Nederlandse zakenman Eric Albada Jelgersma het landgoed en werd er geïnvesteerd in een grootschalige algehele herstructurering, waarbij de vroegere nobele persoonlijkheid werd teruggegeven aan het Château du Tertre. De wijnen van Château du Tertre reflecteren dan ook de ziel van die prachtige terroir.
