Wine Enthusiast
Reviewed September 2022The second wine of Margaux classed growth Château du Tertre is rich while also stylish. Its generous tannins are balanced by juicy black currant fruits and smoky acidity. Drink this wine from 2023. *Editors' Choice* (RV)

Sweet black cherry on the nose. This is tight and deep, but here everything is held together and in balance, if broad-shouldered. A touch of caramel also gives this a gourmet twist, and it has taken the challenges of ageing in this vintage in its stride. (JA)

James Suckling
A fresh and firm red with mushroom and walnut character. Hints of spice and dark fruit. Medium-bodied. Juicy finish. Spicy and fresh from the 25 per cent cabernet franc in the blend.
Notes
Les Hauts du Tertre is the second wine of Château du Tertre, a Fifth Growth in Bordeaux’s 1855 Classification. The estate occupies a single 52-hectare vineyard on a prominent gravel rise in the Margaux appellation, with boundaries that have remained essentially unchanged since the classification. This 2018 bottling offers a direct connection to that historic property.
