Chateau du Tertre Margaux 2015 no ups by a former restaurateur whoDu Tertre's 2015 captures one of the great classical Bordeaux vintages in its early prime. The estate's defining feature a gravel mound that is the highest point in Margaux gives this Cabernet led blend exceptional drainage and a signature lift of perfume. Still youthful and structured, with plenty of dark fruit and firm tannin to carry it for another fifteen plus years, but already showing the violet and graphite charm that makes Margaux Margaux.
