Château du Tertre 2017 Margaux Cinquième Cru Classé 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot.
In oak for 18 Months 50% of which is new.
The 2017 du Tertre was picked from 14 September to 2 October, matured in around 45%
new oak. The blend has been 85% completed. It has a very pleasant bouquet, pure
blackberry, briary and more iris than violet aromas. The palate is medium -bodied with
supple tannin, a fine line of acidity, very harmonious and for want of a better expression,
appears to be a Margaux that wears its heart on its sleeve. This will be worth seeking out
once in bottle. (NM) Additional sizes available please order by phone or email. Half's 24 x 37.5cl, Magnums 6 x 150cl, Double Magnums 3 x

Deep crimson. Perfumed with cassis freshness, straightforward and a sense of small-
berried fruit. Even some red fruit and a touch of vanilla. Really quite discreet. Finesse in
the tannins, a delicacy that belies its persistence on the finish and just enough fruit at the
core for harmony. Needs more time than some, I think. (JH) Additional sizes available please order by phone or email. Half's 24 x 37.5cl, Magnums 6 x 150cl, Double Magnums 3 x

Smells sweet-fruited and sweetly oaky. Lovely fruit flavour on the palate – dark-red fruit –

remarkably silky, with clarity, precision and length but without excess richness. Deep and
long. Amazing balance already. Great precision, helped by a decade of experience in the
new chai, says technical director Dominique Arangoits. Opens in the glass to reveal a hint

.. it has a clean, pure red cherry, blackcurrant and cedar -scented bouquet, more Pauillac
in style than Saint-Estèphe. The palate is well balanced with ripe tannin that feel more
malleable than previous vintages at this stage, a little saline in the mouth with a silky

be more approachable than the 2016. Don ’t ignore this. (NM) Additional sizes available please order by phone or email. Half's 24 x 37.5cl, Magnums 6 x 150cl, Double Magnums 3 x

In oak for 20 Months 90% of which is new.
The vintage is typical of Château Guiraud, mentholated aromas, fresh fruit
(mirabelle, lychee, pineapple and mango) enhanced by the spicy notes reminiscent of
pepper and black tea. Rhubarb nuances provide a finish that is elegantly bitter. The
wine remains powerful, lively and long on the palate with a hint of fresh hazelnut skins at
the finish, the hallmark of the great noble rot wines! (JS) Additional sizes available please order by phone or email. Half's 24 x 37.5cl, Magnums 6 x 150cl, Double Magnums 3 x
