"92+ points. In the same vein as the 2000 in its concentration and power...A great value" - Jeanne Cho Lee, Master of Wine

"92 points. Under the same ownership as Giscours... At the top of its form" - Wine Enthusiast

"92 points. Very classy and very classic... continues its fine form" - Izak Litwar

”Tertre” betyder forhøjning, og Ch. du Tertre er blandt de højstliggende slotte i hele Margaux. Det gamle slot på det dybe grus har været beboet af historiske kendisser som Michel de Montaignes bror samt Marquis’en af Ségur. Ret usædvanligt råder slottet over samme enkeltmark som i 1855. Med sine 52 ha én af Médocs største. Vinmæssigt det bedste slot i Arsac.

Ch. du Tertre har været flyvende siden hollænderen Eric Albada Jelgersma tog over i 1997. Allerede to år efter stod et topmoderne vineri klar, bygget op fra bunden. Ligesom ”søsterslottet” Giscours flirter du Tertre med biodynamisk dyrkning, mens ”grøn høst” fra snart 60 år gamle vinstokke vidner om skånselsløs prioritering af druekvalitet fremfor høstvolumen.

92+/100 Jeannie Cho Lee, MW
"This wine is in the same vein as the 2000 in its concentration and power. Very young and still closed at the moment but truly impressive given the status of the vintage. A great value wine. (92+)"

92/100 Wine Enthusiast
"Under the same ownership as Giscours, and benefiting from big investment in recent years, this is an estate at the top of its form. The wine has aromas of sweet, new wood, while the palate is packed with tarry fruits and spicy wood and herbs. Flavors of ripe black currants give a rich, satisfying feel. This is a wine that is well structured, dense and, given another five years, will be delicious."

92/100 Izak Litwar
"Aromatic,sophisticated and seductive. It was very classy and very classic wine, which continues its fine form. It fully deserves 92p"

91/100 Ian D'Agata
"Precise flavors of plum, cherry, licorice and coffee and a creamy soft texture kept lively by vibrant acidity. Finishes long and clean with hints of tobacco and fresh flowers. A very succesful and typical 2001"

90/100 Robert Parker
"Broad and sexy, with supple tannin, the 2001 offers beguiling notes of toast, black currant liqueur, violets, and licorice in a seductive, opulent, medium to full-bodied, accessible style. It may deserve another point or two for pure pleasure. Proprietor Eric Albada Jelgersma is doing a splendid job rebuilding this estate and producing higher and higher quality wines. The finest Du Tertre in many years was the 2000, and the 2001 is close behind it in quality."

90/100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
"Cigar wrapper, wet earth and sweet cherries work together to create a medium bodied wine with freshness, and sweet, ripe, spicy fruits. The wine is polished, peppery, elegant and with the complexity of sandy tannins in the finish"
