Margaux finesse from one of Arsac's quietest 5th Growths. Château du Tertre sits on a gravelly rise in the Margaux appellation's southern reaches — a property that spent two decades under the Albada Jelgersma family (until its sale to the Helfrich family in 2021) and built a reputation for perfumed, mid-weight claret that prizes elegance over muscle. The 2019 is a classic recent Margaux vintage: warm but balanced, ripe but well-structured. The blend leads on Cabernet Sauvignon (54%) with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and a dash of Petit Verdot rounding things out. Expect crushed violets, black cherry, cedar, and that signature Margaux silkiness underneath polished tannin. Drinkable now with air, but rewards another five to fifteen years of patience.

Antonio Galloni

"The 2019 du Tertre is powerful and virile, just as it was en primeur. Black cherry, graphite, smoke, tobacco, licorice, incense and crushed rocks lend notable complexity to this decidedly brooding, potent Margaux. I have always wondered if du Tertre, which is always a bit monolithic, can be more. The château is under new ownership, so perhaps we will find out." —Antonio Galloni

Robert Parker

"The 2019 du Tertre opens in the glass with aromas of sweet cassis and plums mingled with undergrowth, cedarwood, violets and subtle hints of cigar wrapper. Medium-bodied, bright and integrated, with a nicely concentrated core of fruit, lively acids and fine, powdery tannins that assert themselves on the finish, it delivers a certain generosity of fruit in a fine-boned package. Even if this numbers among the more powerful du Tertre vintages of recent years, it remains a wine defined by elegance more than impact." —William Kelley

"Tasted blind. Not that deep a colour. Fragrant. Nicely balanced and sweetly fruity until a note of sharpness on the very end. Good balance in an early-maturing, proper Margaux." —Jancis Robinson MW

Decanter

94 points

"A serious, rich and dark nose filled with tobacco and black chocolate. Great clarity and punch on the palate though, a real lively kick from start to finish with a deep core on the mid palate. This has structure and good density, feels more heady and seductive, the fruit with a soft sweetness and floral touch and then a menthol-liquorice finish but super clean with such minerality. A great feeling at the end. Elegant and expressive. You could drink now but this has some chewy aspects still so needs a little more time to soften. Lovely. 6% Petit Verdot completes the blend." —Georgina Hindle

Wine Spectator

90 points

"Offers incense and black tea notes that give this aromatic intrigue, while roasted plum and cherry compote flavors provide the bulk of the experience. Delivers a swath of warm humus on the finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2032. 8,000 cases made." —James Molesworth

More about Chateau du Tertre

Margaux's highest point. Acquired in 1961 and restored by Philippe Gasqueton, then passed to Eric Albada Jelgersma (who also owns Giscours), du Tertre sits at 27 meters elevation on gravel-sand slopes. Classic fifth growth restraint—sings when you're patient.

From the Importer

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Built for classical Bordeaux pairings: rack of lamb with herbs de Provence, grilled ribeye, duck breast with cherry sauce, aged hard cheeses like Comté or Mimolette, or roast pigeon with mushroom jus.

Tasting Profile

Medium to full-bodied with crushed violets, black cherry, cassis, cedar, sandalwood, and a whisper of cigar wrapper. Polished, fine-grained tannins; bright acidity; classic Margaux silkiness on a long, savory finish.
