| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2018 Château du Tertre is degelijk. De cremeuze neus blijft fris en floraal met rood fruit en knapperige, donkere kersjes. Rijpheid stelt een elegante en frisse sensatie centraal in de mond met accenten van viooltjes, zwarte bessen en knappe tannine. Kaneel en kruidnagel doorspekken het fruit dat aanhoudt tot in de finale. Dit zal de talrijke volgelingen plezieren. 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 16% Cabernet Franc en 14% Petit Verdot. Het élevage wordt 12 maand op 30% nieuwe eik. IN DE PERS 91 Antonio Galloni – vinous.com (Maart 2021) Just as it was from barrel, the 2018 du Tertre is a powerful, virile wine. Game, scorched earth, incense, savory herbs, licorice and tobacco lend a distinctive aromatic profile. On the palate, the 2018 comes across as a bit compact, but otherwise it is nicely done. Drink 2024-2038. 89-92 Antonio Galloni – vinous.com (April 2019) The 2018 du Tertre is dense and powerful. Scorched earth, game, tobacco, licorice and incense give the 2018 its decidedly feral, pungent character. The 2018 seems quite marked by the radiant intensity of Merlot in its fruit and Petit Verdot in its savory overtones. The blend is 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 16% Cabernet Franc and 14% Petit Verdot. 94-95 James Suckling – jamessuckling.com (April 2019) A tight and precise du Tertre with deep and dark fruit, as well as fresh flowers. Medium to full body, firm tannins and a clean and beautiful finish. The tannins are folding into the wine here. 92 Jane Anson – decanter.com (April 2019) 90 Lisa Perrotti-Brown – roberparker.com (Maart 2021) 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. Drink 2022-2035. 89-91 Lisa Perrotti-Brown – roberparker.com (April 2019) Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 du Tertre is a little reduced to begin, opening out to notions of baked plums, warm cassis and dried mulberries with hints of tar, chargrill and black pepper plus a waft of bouquet garni. Full-bodied with a firm, chewy frame, it has a good amount of baked berries and herbal flavors with a sage-laced finish. 91-94 James Molesworth – winespectator.com (April 2019) 90 Neal Martin – vinous.com (Maart 2021) The 2018 Château du Tertre, this estate sold by the Jelgersmar family during my tastings, has an intense bouquet of iris and pencil lead aromas infusing the black fruit, and a touch of ash in the background. I like the chutzpah here. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannins on the entry, quite firm and earthy, with just a little dryness on the graphite-tinged finish. This is decent du Tertre that just needs to muster a touch more finesse in bottle. Drink 2023-2042. 90-92 Neal Martin – vinous.com (Oktober 2019) The 2018 du Tertre was picked starting September 17 and finishing around October 12, and matured in 50% new oak, including recently introduced foudres, for around 14 months. It has a clean, precise, quite floral bouquet of black fruit infused with hints of lavender and iris flower; there is fine cohesion here. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, the Merlot really lending flesh and roundness to the texture, and a fine bead of acidity. Touches of brown spice appear toward the fresh, engaging finish. This is a very pleasurable du Tertre in the making and I suspect it should drink well after just four or five years. Drink 2022-2045. 16,5-17/20 Bettane & Desseauve (April 2019) 90 Jean-Marc Quarin – quarin.com (April 2019) 94-96 Roger Voss – wineenthusiast.com (April 2019) 17/20 Julia Harding – jancisrobinson.com (April 2019) 30% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Cabernet Franc, 14% Petit Verdot. 50% of the crop went into the grand vin – less than usual. 50% new oak. Barrel sample. Darker and more savoury than the Sirène de Giscours, tasted alongside, with a fine note of crushed rocks. Really pure, delicately floral, smells – and tastes – elegant. Fine texture, dry tannic finesse. Unusually pretty in this vintage. Lots of freshness through to the finish. Already showing real refinement when many wines are too concentrated to show their likely future. 13.9%. Drink 2024-2032. 16,5-17,5/20 Revue des Vins de France – rvf.com (April 2019) 91-93 Jeff Leve – winecellarinsider.com (April 2019) 16,5/20 Le Point (April 2019) IN DE WOORDEN VAN CHATEAU DU TERTRE Château du Tertre 2018 est une représentation aquarelle de notre terroir. Il en résulte un vin précis, ciselé, complexe et délicat, très représentatif de la typicité de ce cru associant densité et soyeux. du TertreChâteau du Tertre is Cinquième Cru Classé en 1855. De wijngaard omvat 52 hectares gelegen op het hoogste punt van de appellatie Margaux en is aangeplant met 43% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 19% Cabernet Franc en 5% Petit Verdot. De ambitieuze Nederlander Eric Albada Jelgersma was er eigenaar van sinds 1997 maar overleed in juni 2018. Zijn inspanningen, en deze van zijn rechterhand Alexander van Beek, schonken meer structuur aan deze bijzonder charmante en onweerstaanbare wijnen. De wijnen van Château du Tertre zijn vlot genietbaar na enkele jaren en blijven nadien mooi evolueren. Du Tertre en Giscours staan beide onder supervisie van hetzelfde team. Van BeekAlexander van Beek is verantwoordelijk voor Giscours in Margaux in naam van een Nederlandse familie. Hij is tevens de echtgenoot van Véronique Sanders die de dagelijkse leiding heeft over Haut Bailly. |
