CHATEAU DU TERTRE 2016 750 ml

Description

Discover the timeless allure of Chateau du Tertre 2016, a distinguished red from the Margaux appellation on Bordeaux's Left Bank. Holding its place as a Fifth Growth in the revered 1855 Classification, this wine emerges from a storied estate where a millennium-old chateau presides over 52 hectares of prime vineyards. The property's journey reflects resilience and vision, passing through hands that nurtured its potential across decades.

In 1961, Philippe Gasqueton took ownership, breathing new life into the vineyards and chateau in the wake of World War II. Following his passing in 1995, the estate found its way to the adjacent proprietors of Chateau Giscours, a Third Growth neighbor. By 1997, Dutch stewards from the Albada-Jelgersma family spearheaded a thoughtful redesign, ensuring the land's heritage flourished anew. This 750 ml bottle, bottled at 13% ABV, captures that legacy in every pour.

A harmonious red blend dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, it embodies Margaux's signature finesse. Lift the glass to encounter an elegant bouquet of floral notes and ripe red fruits, layered with whispers of tobacco, cedar, and dried herbs. The palate reveals a soft, enveloping texture balanced by vibrant fresh acidity, promising depth and grace.

Ideal for those who appreciate Bordeaux's nuanced reds, Chateau du Tertre 2016 suits contemplation alongside roasted game or aged cheeses. Its structure hints at rewards with patient cellaring—consider enjoying from 2025 through 2040. At this price point, it stands as a compelling addition to any serious collection, bridging historic prestige with approachable elegance.

Whether you're building a cellar or seeking a standout gift for wine enthusiasts, this Margaux gem delivers the poise of Left Bank tradition. Secure your bottle of Chateau du Tertre 2016 and savor the narrative etched in every vintage from France's iconic Bordeaux region.
