Chateau du Tertre Margaux 5. Cru Classé 2020 i trækasse

Wine Enthusiast

The black fruits and the juiciness of the wine are deceptive—they are just a front for the impressive structure, the rich tannins and the spice. This is a wine that already shows great potential while also bringing something of the softer side of a grand Margaux

Revue du Vin de France

James Suckling

Focused aromas of blackberries and blackcurrants with hints of dark chocolate, mint and graphite. Medium to full body, round and medium velvety tannins. Lovely berry and hazelnut character in the aftertaste. Juicy at the end with clarity. Already so attractive but give it two or three years to come together.

Dark purple with violet hue and black core. Sophisticated nose with aroma reminiscent of blackberries, fresh blackcurrants and mallow flowers, ripe dark stone fruit, delicate oriental spices and hints of cocoa in the background. On the palate elegance with freshness, ripe berries and discreet lowery elemants , hints of dark chocolate and vanilla, subtle oak. A well made wine with great precision.

VV Wine

(54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, 6% Petit Verdot, 13.4% Alkohol) Expressives Bouquet, zeigt Floralität, viel Kräuterwürze, delikate Cassisfrucht, auch Himbeeren, etwas Schlagsahne.
Im Gaumen elegant, eher feingliedrig, gut strukturiert, mit reifen Gerbstoffen und einer frischen Säure, die Frucht ist delikat, harmoniert mit der Struktur. Im Abgang von sehr schöner Länge, endet rotfruchtig und wieder mit viel Würze. Ein sehr balancierter du Tertre, den ich auf dem Niveau des 2018ers einschätze, doch vielleicht ist dieser 2020er noch einen Tick frischer.

Decanter

A more sculpted feel to 2020 here than at many estates in Margaux, with touches of tobacco leaf and white pepper accompanying the raspberry and wild strawberry fruits right from the first moments. There is a vivacity to the tannins, which remain muscular and a little sombre on the finish, once they have built up through the palate. Good stuff. Château du Tertre announced new owners as of January 2021, with the Helfrich family of Grands Chais de France taking over from previous owners Albada Jelgersma family on a leasing and management basis. 6% Petit Verdot completes the blend. A yield of 25hl/ha. 40% new oak.

Robert Parker

Wafting from the glass with aromas of sweet berries, pencil shavings, warm spices and cocoa powder, the 2020 du Tertre is medium to full-bodied, supple and seamless, with an elegant, suave profile that belies good depth and concentration. This terroir is never going to produce the most powerful wine in Margaux, and it's the prime example of an estate that gets lost in a mass tasting, but the restructuring of its vineyards, almost complete, is clearly quietly bearing its fruit.
