Grape: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot

Tasting notes: The nose is characterised by elegant and fresh flavours. The freshness continues in the palate and through to the finish. A very fine wine.

 

--------THE PRODUCER--------

Chateau du Tertre

Château du Tertre is a millennial estate whose vineyard of 52 hectares remains unchanged since 1855. It is in the nineteenth century that the wines of the Château du Tertre will be known worldwide, especially thanks to the classification of 1855 which makes Château du Tertre a Grand Cru Classé Margaux. In 1997, Eric Albada Jelgersma, a Dutch businessman, bought this estate where he made important investments to restructure the whole and give Château du Tertre its character and nobility.

 

--------THE GRAPE--------

Bordeaux Red Blend

This is the most famous red blend of them all: Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Just like in Bordeaux, where this blend originates from, you will almost always see Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot in the blend, too. Each grape brings its own special element to the overall wine be it acid, tannin, colour or aromatics.

 

--------THE REGION--------

Bordeaux

Bordeaux, like Burgundy, is one of the most important and well-known regions in the wine world. Home to the Claret, a red wine made from the eponymous Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, the Sauternes, a golden goddess that is sweet enough to make you silly, and the Bordeaux Blanc; a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon which is more refreshing than you can ever imagine.
