Description

Cabernet Sauvignon 47%, Merlot 24%, Cabernet Franc 21%, Petit Verdot 8%

Du Tertre was sold to new owners in January 2021; this wine was made by the old team, headed by Alexander Van Beek (now focusing entirely on Ch. Giscours). Frédéric Ardouin, once of Ch. Latour, has stayed on, taking up the reins. He considers this one of the château’s best-ever vintages. The yield (25 hl/ha) is the lowest since the frost-hit 1991. This has given great concentration and helped these sandier soils to overcome the drought. Floral
yet tightly wound, this is an elegant and composed expression of Margaux – a great achievement.
