Alcohol: 13.5%

Grape(s): 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit Verdot

Location: Margaux, Bordeaux, France

Tasting Notes: Medium–deep garnet‑purple; expressive aromas of stewed black plums, kirsch, and black raspberries with dried Provençal herbs, tobacco leaf, and cedar. Medium‑bodied, generous red and black fruit preserves, soft approachable texture, vibrant freshness, and a finish lifted by gentle herbal complexity.

The Domain: Château Du Tertre — estate origins in the 12th century, passing through notable Bordeaux families (de Ségur) and owners; rebuilt in the 18th century by Pierre Mitchell. Replanted after the 1956 frost and modernized under later owners; ranked among the 1855 Grands Crus Classés and acquired by Eric and Marie‑Louise Albada Jelgersma in 1997.
