The 2006 Du Tertre from Bordeaux, France is a remarkable vintage from the esteemed Château du Tertre. On the nose, this wine offers an enticing bouquet of blackcurrant, plum, and cedar, with subtle hints of leather and earth. Its deep ruby hue is a true testament to its age and quality.
On the palate, the wine is rich and full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a perfect balance of fruit and oak. Flavors of dark cherries, blackberries, and a touch of vanilla dance across the tongue, leading to a long and satisfying finish.
The 2006 Du Tertre is a prime example of a classic Bordeaux blend, with 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot. This wine has aged gracefully and is a true pleasure to drink now, but has the potential to continue developing in the bottle for years to come. A must-try for any Bordeaux lover.
Winemakers Notes
Château du Tertre, a timeless elegance
Château du Tertre is located on one of the highest gravel ridges in the Médoc. Its history began in the 18th century with Pierre Mitchell, an Irish merchant who fell in love with the Bordeaux region and its wines. As the founder of Bordeaux's first glassworks, he fulfilled one of his dearest dreams by creating his own vineyard estate. Other famous families followed in his footsteps, including the Albada Jelgersma family, who purchased the estate in 1997 and made significant investments to allow this Grand Cru Classé of 1855 to express all of its elegance.
In March 2021, the Helfrich family
took over to write a new chapter in the history of Château du Tertre. The family shares the same quest of excellence, which is a tradition in motion.
