Chateau du Tertre 2018

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (90)

Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 du Tertre delivers a good intensity of stewed black plums, kirsch and black raspberry notes, plus hints of dried Provence herbs, tobacco leaf and cedar chest. The medium-bodied palate offers plenty of red and black fruit preserves flavors with a soft texture and loads of freshness, finishing with an herbal lift.

James Suckling (94)

Aromas of meat and dark berries with some dried flowers. It’s full-bodied with round, chewy tannins and a juicy finish with some dark chocolate. Give it three or four years to soften and come together.

BOW (8.25)

Falstaff (94)

Intense ruby with purple reflections and a discreet brightening of the rim. Nuances of dark cherries, subtle wild berry fruit, a hint of liquorice, figs and orange zest show on the nose. Velvety, fruity, freshly structured with integrated, supporting tannins and a hint of salinity on the aftertaste, a multi-faceted food companion.

Wine Enthusiast (95)

From the partner estate to Château Giscours, this wine is as elegant as you would expect. While it is structured, it also has ripe fruits, rich tannins and great potential. The dry and firm core of this wine will propel it forward. Drink from 2027. Roger Voss
