In a few words ...
Renowned for its roundness and suppleness, Merlot lends its silkiness to the final blend. Cabernet Franc is distinguished by its rich bouquet of spicy notes. Finally, the late-ripening Petit Verdot completes the aromatic palette. The result is the Grand Vin de Château du Tertre, reflecting the soul of its exceptional terroir.
"With its 2012, the domaine has produced a harmonious Margaux, expressing finesse rather than power. On the nose, it combines discreet, fine toasty, spicy and fruity notes (cherry, blackcurrant). On the palate, it seduces with its suave, charming character, its supple, silky structure and its long finish, which may be a little more austere but is still very courteous."
Tasting notes

Dense, dark garnet color, drawing on purple in its youth.
Aroma
For the Margaux appellation, we find black fruits, such as blackcurrant or blackcurrant, sometimes cooked, and an empyreumatic that gives off aromas of roasted coffee or licorice.
Wine Empyreumatic | Fruity | Roasted
Taste
On the palate the best Margaux are those who have perfectly integrated their tannins in their structure, giving roundness. We find the aromas of the nose namely black fruits and tertiary flavors such as leather, vanilla.

cost de cœur, a fresh and pleasant wine, round and soft on the palate, with a light body and not too much wood, with a medium level of complexity.
