Lovely fruit, with blackberry, dark chocolate, walnut and meat aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied with a solid core of fruit, creamy tannins and just a hint of chocolate. 70% cabernet sauvignon, 15% merlot, 11% cabernet franc and 4% petit verdot. Needs three or four years of bottle age. Drink after 2028.

The 2023 Château du Tertre has turned out beautifully, revealing aromas of cassis, dark wild berries, rose petals and fresh licorice, accented by refined spice. Medium- to full-bodied, it is round and sapid, layered and deep, built around a fleshy core of fruit framed by velvety, powdery tannins and a gently sweet profile. This blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc, 11% Merlot and 4% Petit Verdot is a sleeper of the vintage.

Gorgeous perfumed scents on the nose, smells heady and scented. A wonderful texture and harmony to this wine, everything in balance. It’s not the most complex or layered but the fruit is perfectly matched to the acidity and tannins so you get a really enjoyable and coherent glass of wine with flavour, structure and length. A great achievement in 2023. This also has a touch of richness to the fruit profile that many wines lack in this vintage. Glossy. 4% Petit Verdot completes the blend.
