Château Du Tertre 2018
Château Du Tertre 2018
Tasting Notes
Deep garnet-purple colored. It opens to notions of baked plums, warm cassis and dried mulberries with hints of tar, chargrill and black pepper. Full-bodied with a firm, chewy frame, it has a good amount of baked berries and herbal flavors with a sage-laced finish. Du Tertre has been using higher proportions of Petit Verdot since 2010, and in a year like 2018, it has really paid off. It tames the rich top notes of the vintage and gives the wine a more supportive tannic structure.
Food Pairing
Red meat, feathered game and hard cheeses.
