Chateau du Tertre 2012 Vintage Overview

2012 OVERVIEW

Chateau du Tertre 2012 shows a refined Margaux character, pairing ripe cassis and black plum with notes of cedar, coffee bean and a touch of dark chocolate. The palate is supple yet structured, with velvety tannins, lively acidity and a mineral edge that keeps the generous fruit fresh and lifted through a long, spicy finish.

About Chateau du Tertre

Château du Tertre is the estate’s Grand Vin, a Cabernet-Sauvignon–led Bordeaux blend from one of the highest gravel ridges in Margaux, classified as a Cinquième Grand Cru Classé in 1855. Typically medium to full-bodied and refined rather than massive, it is known for its elegant blackcurrant and floral character, supple tannins, and a distinctly fresh, saline, mineral edge that reflects its classic Médoc gravel terroir.
